Great job. I'm working on a Tamiya Skyline GT-R R32 and converted the kit from male fitment to female, using a very similar technique. I drilled out the brakes as you did, but rather than leave them open I put a disc of styrene behind the brakes with the styrene rod centered in the hole.
I know you haven't posted a video in a while, but were can I see finished models that you made? love the unboxing vids really helps me figure out if I want to spend on some of these kits. Could you start back up?
Any tips on using something to replace 3 snapped pin axles for a aoshima kit? ended up glueing the wheels to the rotors but i want the wheels to function again haha thanks.
Wow you are awesome ! Thank you very much but where the heck do I get this such a styrene rod here in Germany ? That is the single struggle that I have about the converting
KBTDK Hey thank you for the comment :) If you take a look at online hobby stores or ebay they should have what you are looking for. I made a list on my website to help out :) elpmodelling.com/online-model-stores/
Can i color it in any color i want? I would like to have it yellow, because thats my favorite color, but red (as it was factory and most used color on mk4) would be also awesome
Many brands that sell wheels just a quick google search shall do, and same with spoilers and body kits. The body kits are pricey, a lot more than the kits usually
How about a video of the opposite, male to female? I've done it, it's also easy, but the trick is cutting the tube flat and not angled. That's where my problem lies because after cutting and sanding 4 pieces and standing them side by side theres always something crooked.
Ohhhhh, that's the tutorial i requested on your insta post, great tutorial,thank you so much !
bboysox Not a problem, I'm glad it helped!

Jaime Romano Would you like a saucer of milk Jaime? :P
I am going to get a Tamiya Supra model and modify for a hobby in the summer, can I get any 1:24 scale wheel brands or do they have to be for Tamiya
also is it possible to add body kits and spoilers?
