New Guy: First Build - AE86 Trueno

hey all.

Justin
19 and my 2nd year at Temple U. in Philly
Studying Architecture


Decided to go out and buy my first model from hobby link japan and see if my artistic background and creativity, along with my style I have put into my own car will rub off. Took over a month to get to me but arrived right on time when winter break started. So hopefully most of my time home I will get a majority of the work done before spring semester starts.

Kit:
Aoshima 85 AE86 Trueno
also bought SSR Reverse mesh wheels with stretched tires.

Keeping this build clean and simple, with attention to detail. Adding my own personal touches here and there.

 

 

 first: i dont like how the exhaust and a few other parts were molded in the body as it makes for an annoying time, and doesnt look as real as id want. what do you guys do as far as adding the orange to the pipes to make it look more real?

got to work on the under body, the weathering needs to be toned down some more to look a little more real for me. thinking of doing a thin flat black dust from a spray can that i hope brings it all together and not so "patchy" as well as the tranny. I added scrape marks on the fuel tank and other parts as if its bottomed out since it will be slammed. I also started the suspension components.

QUESTION: what glue do you guys use? i bought zap a gap as im familiar with it from my architecture models but it doesn't seem to work as i want for plastics.
