R-34 Z-Tune W.I.P.
Posted by fantacmet on Wednesday, May 21, 2008 2:18 PM

Here's my Skyline work in progress.  She's almost done.  I had it painted, and then tried to do the trim and it got screwed up.  Acrylic paints.  So I stripped it and repainted it with Tamiya rattle cans.  Primer, Color, and Clear.  Polishing is done with Novus #2.  I discarded the plastic mesh int he kit and replaced it with some PE mesh.  For the emblem in the grill instead of using the metal transfer and a decal which would have been nearly impossible to get in there, I took the engraved emblem off the other front fascia and glued it on, and then painted it, and I think the results came out better.  I still have mroe work to do, including the decals such as the ones that go over the metal transfers in the back, and a few other misc items, like the mirrors.  I'm trying to remember where I put the mirrors.  I put them someplace safe, so I wouldn't lose them and can't remember where I stashed them.  Go figure.  Sure they ain't far.  Anyway here you go.  3 pics of it almsot done.

That's a nice clean build, Mike! Quite a nice looking speedster! Looks like it's ready for the Gran Turismo circuit!

Hope you find those mirrors....

Thanks Doog.  I found them.  I will have them on this weekend.  I can't wait.  I should also have a few other kits done real soon as well.  I brought out my KV-1 to finish up the weathering on it and the last couple of details as well.
