So you've probibly all seen the fc 1:24 scale metal models by jada toys... really riced out. well i decided to repaint mine, all one colour. only problem is, i can't really decide on a color. anyone got any suggestions? i'm considering the brown color of my 1st gen, in one of the attached pics, but i know that was definitly not an fc color. anyway, hope no one gets mad about posting this, since it doesnt have much to do with the real rx7's, lol. ill post pictures of it down the road once im finished with it. by the way, for anyone interested in redoing one, i stripped off all the paint with brake fluid. bought a gallon of the stuff for 12 bucks, let it all soak in a coffee can over night, then hit it with a pressure washer, and it peeled the paint right off. thanks

 

haha very nice. I wish I could find a model FC somewheres.....
I think you should go black.. nothing sexier than a black T2.

 

some updates... thanks for the comment mike, am considering doing it black. anyway here it is, half primered. still need to do the doors and body, have contour putty (bondo) in the spoiler holes & mirror holes... yea there gettin shaved. lol it looks like a total ricer right now!

 

do the wheels come off? if so, id get something else

 

haha not with out breaking them. going to paint the centers black to tone down the bling. maybe down the road i'll find some other ones, or take some off another model, haha

 

lol i think that these lil model cars are really good to like plan what ur gonna do wit ur car, like u get an idea of how it will look and stuff

 

lol, those look like the equivalents of 21" wheels on an FC.

 

finally painted it, im pretty pleased. did it the same color as my real car, 1983 GS rx7. also painted the wheel centers black to null the shinyness. soon i'll paint all the trim and lights and what not, and them post more pics. let me know what you all think!

 

i think that whole car is rice... haha. i recomend this guy.

Cool, but the Initial D version does it even though it's not according to scale.

 

ya, the car i did was cast from the same mold as the initial d car. (ive got the inital d fc & fd as well) they just painted it different, and threw on a different set of wheels. i'll definitly check out that dudes models

 

looks good, a lot better than before. the red seat looks kinda funny against the brown body but good job

 

ehh im not really liking the brown on the fc, looks like u did a good job tho


hey thats good idea to see how your colour will look on the real thing!

 

not meaning to thread jack but here are some pics of my unfinished cars..sorry about the pic quality, i couldnt get it to take a good shot...

 

dude red87tii those cars look good!

 

Haha, this is great. I like it, not the wheels though.

 

good to know im not the only one collecting the crap outta those 1:24 FCs. The only ones you can get are the white initial d one, and the ricey blue one, i have 9 or 10 of them. the wheels are interchangeable with any other jada 1:24 car (even the ones with 22's, but i dont know why you would want that) i have one painted exactly like my 87 (chevy red orange-ish color, black wing) with gunmetal 7 spokes (r.i.p.), and one painted like my 88 (black with 03 cobra's).


also have a ton of other cars, like FDs, 240s, 300zxs, etc.

pretty cool toy line if you ask me.

 

hey i have one of those white fc models, from initial d right. now i wanna paint it over like my real TII or maybe a bunch of colors to see what the car would like look in midnight blue, gunmeteal, oxblood.....etc....

thanks for the idea. maybe i'll post if i repaint it.

 

yeah i got the initial d one, which is cool cuz thats how my car will look

 

I hope minus the stickers...

 

Oh you wanna compete lool

This is my lil stash



Lil extra!




I tried to paint an FC model car, **** came out horrible, ill stick with how they are painted by the lil kids in third world countries , they do pretty good.
