Started this one off last Xmas, and I'm sure I never posted any of the work.:?:

Well I wanted to make a custom racing version, stripped out interior, etc, with engine detail, so the Tamiya kit was the obvious starting point.

I know you can purchase Fujimi/Aoshima kits in racing trim, but fancied doing it myself.

So this is the progress so far, I picked it up again last week and started to do a bit of work again, making a custom oil cooler.

The wheels are from two different Fujimi RS watanabe kits to get the deeper dish on the rears and shallower on the fronts.

The decals were created and printed by myself but, I must thank Kunta for the help with the Japanese Text :bigthumb:

I do hope to finish this one :)

Enjoy :D

Oh my, that is wonderous....

Excellent.

that is so sweet....

good job! :sunglasse

looks fantastic so far... looking forward to watching the rest of this build. :bigthumb:

Hi,

this model always appeared boring to me.

Looking at your progress it makes a "Must Have" for me!!!

Impressive!!
I never thought that you've already advanced it up to this stage. :smile:

When i saw the pic of the box i said to myself ''damn , i'll have to wait before showing mine'' but then i saw you were building the racing version and i was like ''phew!''

Good job so far. I'm always amazed at your putty work

Btw , Could you tell me what technique you used to paint the raised letters on the valve cover ,please.

Frank

Coming along very nicely

Awesome flare work, will you inlcude the "rivets"?
What are those tires/slicks from?

The engine looks mighty fine too, great detailing.

Wow, that is amazing! that craps all over my build, lol!
I used the same car for reference on my flares. Can't wait to see this one finished, beautiful.

Amazing. Yet another kit that I want to build.

Sweet as.

Looking good!

You have cost me money...
I just had to buy the S27 transkit to produce the Konimtsu car that uses this Tamiya kit as a base after seeing this. My scratchbuilding skills suck...
Thanks to Dave at Scaleracecars.com for having it in stock and shipping same day.. Way to go....

Great job! Working on this myself, although a "yanki" style street version-

are the carbs custom or sakatsu, etc?

wow that si absolutely amazing hiro!!!! I have got to pick me up one of these old school skyline kits. great work as always....................*Ryan*

Looks sweet Hiro!

Great start Steve!

I could not find it anywhere but then I remembered seeing it on eBay a couple of weeks ago. Here it is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5996750345&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

Spent some time working on the Suspension and Brakes.
(Brembo Decals to follow)

Also fabricated a Strut Brace (100% made from Aluminium)

With any luck I'll finish this one for Xmas 2005 :)

Wow.....wow.....wow....

How did you get a ruler that's so big, it makes the strut brace look 1/24 scale?

awesome work
it seem 1/12 so far

WOW I LIKE THIS ONE :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Grtzzzzz Nissanmotorsport :sunglasse

Thta is fantastic work, perhaps you could do a How-To sometime soon on that Strut brace.

Great work as always.

Wow Wow Wow!!!
Love strut bar, what did you use for the nuts/bolts...very very realistic.

Just a bit more work done. Project is now coing to a close, Phew.........

Gear lever machined from Aluminium.

Rear Shelf and Door Cards fabricated from plastic card and covered with SMS Carbon Fibre

Battery scratch built along with Dizzy and other engine bay parts

Thanks for looking.

I aspire to build such excellent models....

Yikes Steve! Did you turn those tiny nuts on the strut brace? Sensational work. :eek:

Wicked, just plain wicked.
Love the wiring...very clean.
Yup, I'll assume by you ignoring my question about the nuts that they are turned aluminum like the rest of the stuff :grinno:

Wow amazing!!! What more can be said, just amazing...............*Ryan*

That looks really good. Great body work !!!

Steve, this is going to be one of my favorite builds of recent history! I had to remind myself that it's only 1/24 scale and not larger!!:eek: Keep up the awesomeness!! :sunglasse

You're ridiculous

That is just amazing! I can't believe i did not see this thread ! Good thing you had it in your signature:thumbsup: Thanks for sharing !

Awesome work!!, that strut bar and the brakes are incredible!!

Looking forward to see more!

Congrats!

:eek7: First i thought this is one of your 1/12 cars again.
Extremely clean work! Makes me want to build one, too and you should know, i´m no Skyline fan ;)

Hiroboy...I was going around your site and went into Tools, great collection you have there. But by the way you wrote Spray Mask, I don't think you're using it.....:-P
Anyway... I can't believe your skills, it looks awesome!

jawdropping stuff that you create here :sunglasse

Only a few things to do now.

Thanks

It's awesome!

That's awesome, I'm totally speechless.

One day I hope to have the skills you have Steve. I'm still waiting on more progress of your Z Tune R34 and 1/12 Rx-7.

I do have one question, do you airbrush everything?
