Tamiya Skyline GT-R (w/pics)

Very nice! The PE hood pins are nice to, or should I say rear deck pins?

The LED wiring doesn't look to complicated... I am going to have to try it! Thanks for the pic 1/72!

Thanks for the complements Collin! You should try adding LED's, it gives it a extra touch that looks very realistic (hard to get across by pictures though) I used standard red LED and bright white ones here's a pic of the "inner workings" before assembly. If you like to add LEDs you should have a model without engine though (or a larger scale then 1/24) because it really is difficult to get everything fitted inside.

You're right about the rear wing, I added carbon decal. I think is goes well with the rest of the bodywork. Better pic? How about this...

Hi smokinguns, my comment about what is stopping you was not meant serious. I did not know you are unemployed. If I have heard or offended you, please accept my sincere apologies.

You say you are not a car builder anymore, what's your specialty / interest now? Could be nice though making another kind of model. I use do not build cars but mainly WW2 fighters. I sure enjoyed this little "de-tour" into to the world of cars.

Thanks for the complements Dubau & Smokinguns3!

Smokinguns3, what is stopping you, you only life once! If need be you always can build and customize a model kit version (or did you do that already?)

Actually I was inspired for this build by the Play Station 2 game Gran Turismo 3.

I also have the Tamiya Nissan MOTUL Z on the shelf ready to get started. I think I will build this one as it is supposed to be with all racing colors and decal etc.

Sweet looking Ride
