Tamiya nissan skyline GT-R 34****wip****

again looking great here, jezz!

Maybe a stupid question, is the car on the last picture a real one? If so, is it yours?

BTW, any chance of higher (larger) photo's? please.....

Nice looking GT-R. I've heard that some of the Tamiya kits don't have engines, does this one? I think they call them curbside models. I built a race version of the skyline from Tamiya and it did have an engine. Fairly decent detail too. In any case, yours is looking real good.

John 

don't complain about your car, it's still nicer as mine (an old peugeot 405 '93)

Please keep us posted on the progress please!

working on underpan at the mo hope to get that finished this weekend get wheels on and to see how it looks not sure which rims to go for  ones will look best comments pls

Interior has been painted black with read trim i have brushed in graphite into the lines in the red leather to bring out the details also i would have liked to flock carpet and shelf but havnt got any at the momment

The under pan is now assembled all that is left to do is to attach the exhaust once painted and heat treated

Nice looking paint. Everyones got there own style but why did you take the same red for the undercarriage?

I just finished building one of these myself. Skyline Blue with white wheels and red calipers. I'm gonna build a photobooth sooner or later 

I  know i was thinking myself i should have gone for black i could have weathered it up a bit o well ill try something different next time thanks for you thoughts on that it is good for another persons veiws and advise

in regards to the hand painting the black around the windows i use balck artist water colours and brush that around the window frame in the recess when dry wipe off excess with a soft slightly damp cloth and at a 45 degree angle wipe in light passes as not to wipe off the paint in the recess the you can paint the frame by hand and not worry about that time consuming masking it works every time

P.S post some pictures of you skyline i would like to see it

almost finishe this one now decals have been put on headlights have been installed interior place in and body test fitted on al that is left to do is place in glazing in the car ant all done

all finished

looks very good jezz! I especially like how smooth the paint finish is, it is virtually flawless.

PS: I still like the other rims better though

Very nice I like the rims you put on it better than the other ones IMO.

1/72 here it is with the other rims for you what do you think better

Thanks jezz, I feel honoured you put them on just for me (it seems I am the only one who likes them)

Here is "my version"

thanks for the complement, it is the Tamiya 1/24 Xanavi Nismo GT-R (R34) Special Edition (kit # 24271).

I used Tamiya paint (aerosol).

 I love Tamiya kits, they are really good quality and almost build themselves. Here's a link to to the original post:
