All the bodyparts are glued together and the rearbump is modified to fit on the body.

And I primered it.

Very strange but on the last picture you can see on the hood there's a spot. In real you can't see this spot :uhoh: Not important btw because it will have a couple of mica silver coats one of these days.

Despite the rear bumper mis-fit, this kit looks better than the Tamiya one which makes me a bit disappointed :frown: . This build looks good so far and can't wait to see the coats of paint on it.

Let me warn you before u build it up... The bottom chassic has problems... the wheels dont turn out right when its fixed... I can confirm this as my top secret skyline had this problem and i had to make adjustments to the chassic to fix it. And a friend of mine had the same exact problem when he fixed his C-west skyline , which uses the same chassic. Good luck. :icon16:

Thanx I will keep that in my mind (as far as possible :grinyes: )

Today I painted the body and the rearwing with 4 lays of TS-76 Mica Silver
The paintjob is very smooth! I''ll clearcoat the body when the decals are placed.

for some reason i noticed that i like this kit more than the Tamiya one. Dont raly no y but the way its made looks meaner because it looks abit more square, as in the rims look nicer than the Tamiya one and the bodykit looks like it sits better. Just my opinion and also how u get the Nismo hood decal etc...

Excellent shine to the paint, the decals look great aswell!

I agree with the comments above this kit looks so much better than the Tamiya version!
I love the standard Tamiya Skyline but as a Z tune version it didn't look as mean as it should!
This one does! Superb, keep it up. Make sure it sits right when you've finished it!

Today it was time to clear coat the body.

So I sprayed 4 lays of TS-13 on it.

I think it's smooth enough. Only wax the body after it is dry enough.

Nobody wants to reply???:rolleyes:

Allright.... Today I polished the whole body and waxed it with some carwax.

I also installed the headlight units and the mirrors in the sidemirrors.

I made the backlights and I really love them. No painting just glue it together because Aoshima gaved me red and orange clearparts :)

Look!

Yes.... this was just a dryfit so the frontbumper was added to the body with some tape.

I did some work last days on the Z-tune....

I always hate it to paint the windowtrims but is must be done so I spent some time on it. I'm glad about the results! Just a few small places that need some black paint again.

I also painted the headlights. They had to be a bit darker inside so I painted some places black.

and a teaser :)
http://albums.modelbrouwers.nl/coppermine/albums/userpics/10027/rubber_004.jpg

Now I'll paint the windowtrims on the windowparts. I saw a few months ago some templates for masking the windowtrims. Does anyone know where I can find these templates?

I have this kit too - so I'll be following this build. Looks great so far. :)

Where's the engine? :(

The Aoshima version doesn't offer an engine. You have to glue the hood shut, unless you custom make one.

theOmni

01-07-2007, 02:33 AM

adding an engine to that beauty would have def. made its beauty go to 150% from 100%.

Thanks mate! This is what I searched for :)

No there's no engine in this kit. I also have no engine or something to put into the skyline. In The Netherlands you can't buy Aoshima also... :)

It took a while but I spended some time last days to work on the Z-tune.

I finished the chassis.

Just painted some parts and installed them nothing special, just basic and clean :)

Yet I finished the interior.

Everything was painted black and the middle of the seats doorpanels are painted flat red.

The black paint came with the maskingtape so I brushed it a bit with some black as you can see on the pics. Lucky for me you won't see anything when the body is placed over the interior.

The floor was flocked with black interiorflocks.

I also made a brake light on the rear of the body...

I only have te paint the windows and add the screenwipers and some little decals. The frontbumper is a problem to put on the body but I try to do my best.

i had the top secret skyline... the front bumper is a pain in the neck to put on, try find some kind of clamps to hold these bad boy in place while the glue is drying.
