EPSON NSX 2005 (Super GT) by Tamiya

I’m finally done! This was the most difficult kit I have ever built. I purchased the Tamiya PE set along with the kit. Tons of amazing details, and the kit went together like a dream. The difficulty on the two-tone paint, decals and masking was something I struggled with for two months. I destroyed one body on account of a failed primer adhesion, and repainted countless times to get it right. Had to get a whole new kit to replace parts and decals that had failed along the way. 

My kids recently have becomes obsessed with the “slug bug” VW beetle, so that will be next :) hope you enjoy! Have not seen anyone else do this kit or it’s sisters on the forum.

Nice to see one of these built up.  I have all but one of these kits.  I have not built one yet.  Yours might just be the inspiration I need to get one started!  Your perseverance has paid off in the form of a great looking racer.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! If you have the kit, I would still recommend building it! The challenge is very rewarding! The fit is superb so when you do get all the paint right, it can all go together in a day or two. I would love to see others tackle the Takata and raybrig liveries as well! I am going to take a break for a while but I may do so in a few months.
