I recommend Revell paints! Have used them so far..

ferraris, nissans, hondas, bikes, wrc, jgtc, dtm etc. theres more than 15 unbuilt kits.
sadly no pics, you'll just have to wait until i complete the ITR and celica.

Hi All,
As far as the paint question goes it's pretty much a personal choice and local availability I happen to work at a hobby shop in New Jersey and we only stock Tamiya Acrylics and the Testors brand (i.e. model master). I personally use tamiya paints because they airbrush really good, but I don't build alot of plastic models. Revell paints are actually made for revell by a third party and are kinda hard to come by, but that said revell-monogram was recently sold so who knows. People don't seem to want to build anything anymore, at least where I work, even our most popular RC Cars come prebuilt (traxxas, hpi)! I will try to up some pics of some interesting things just gotta go find a nice image hosting site that my peer guardian will let me go to

hehe, when you say kit car it sounds like you're more interested in a 1:1 scale model.

check out some of these links for other Lotus Knock offs. I think many of them use V6's (such as the GM 3.6 or 3.8 litre among others.)


As far as model cars go, I never noticed a large difference in price. Usually supplies are what make the difference. What scale are you looking at?
