Tamiya Nissan GT-R ***WIP***

quick update almost done now just a few small details to finish i am not a big fan of white cars really but i must say this has turned out a nice one

If you want the kit and it's not available in your country check out hobby link japan.  Including shipping the price is going to be about the same.  Jap kits sell dirt cheap in Japan.

Shipping them is what is pricey, but it just about evens out in the end.  I've not personally shopping with HLJ before.  Good reputation though.

I have however done business with greatmodels, evers toy store, squadron and lucky model.  I have had good experiences with all of them.  Best prices from evers toy store by far.  AMT rerelease of the international payhauler was 20 bucks from them awhile everywhere else had it for 70.

I was speaking of the Tamiya kit.  They're not available in the US yet.  I could only hope our local dealership gets one, but unlikely up here in the great white north....

Actually, they are available state side. People who have had them reserved are getting them first so there won't be any in showrooms for awhile. In last months issue of Sport Compact Car it shows the first privately owned one that's stateside.

Can't wait to get me one of these kits.  I love the Skyline's and they're not yet available state=side.  HOPEFULLY I can get more than one but at $40+... 

Yours looks fantastic.  I'm glad they at least put some molded engine detail in the kit rather than just curbside.

Well, for what it's worth, I like the example of the interior you posted. Even though it's a Lamborghini, the black with white accents would look really good in the GTR. The body is looking good, too. Is there a panel line wash on it already? It looks very realistic.

yes the panel lines are done they are very clean

here are the finished pictures of the interior all apart drom the decals




and the interior with the body on andwheels plced in loose


i quite like the rims chrome not smoke any ideas guys

No offense fant but tan interior is gross. My friend just bought a TT 1993 RX-7 and it has tan interior, we are helping him ditch it ASAP. Bride seats, Nardi wheel and the works.

I'd do either of those. Black is WWWWAAAYYYY sexier than any other color interior. People pay big bucks on older cars for black.

Go here and look at the car. Then pick your interior colours based on that.

as promised I have taken a few better pictures outside this morning in the rain wont be able to do any more work tonight as i have a wedding party to go to will have a go on the weekend

I have been searching for ideas on interior colours and have found this any ideas or coments pls

It being a GT-R and all, I would recomend grey or black for the intierior. check out the Nissan GT-R web site for a full walkthrough of the car.

also, keep up the good work!
