This is what I have done so far on my Tamiya Skyline R34 kit:

-custom hood (from Revell Super Stallion Mustang kit)
-scratch built body kit

I'll update as soon as I get some progress done (I'm working on quite a few projects at the moment).

I recognize that hood too! That's the Mustang hood I gave you. It actually fits the R34.

WAAHHH!! That looks sooo mean!! I LOVE IT!!
Keep up the great work!

Love what you've done so far...looking very aggressive like it should do :icon16:

The hood and kit suit the car perfectly. Awesome build so far!

I have the first coat of primer on, now I have to do a bit of sanding, then onto the interior and engine!

Thanks again for that Mustang kit, I've used quite a few parts from it

Thanks a lot for the positive comments guys, I definitely agree that Skylines should look aggressive and mean!!!

Are you just gonna leave the rear like that or do you intend to put on a diffuser for extra brownie points? :icon16:

I'll have to see, I haven't really mocked it up yet, so I'll have to see when the chassis is on there whether or not I'll put one on.

Ok now I'm trying to figure out what colour I want to do the R34. I was thinking of a dark, very metallic blue. Or should I do it a red, green, charcoal, etc.... ????? What do you guys think?

I'm thinking a nice dark metallic or candy red, or a pearl light blue or the gun metal/charcoal option.

Nice progress!!

First coat of paint, I used Nissan Charcoal Pearl.

Looking pretty good!

You forgot the panelline for the hood above the grille.

Now you can't open the Hood :P

Rest is looking good

What are you going to do about the missing panel line between the hood and the front bumper? I really like the hood BTW, i think a nice clear red over that charcoal would look good.

yeah I guess I forgot to put the lines in, I'll scribe them in before the next coat of paint. Good eye!

Bodykit looks great!

Noooo,the hood comes with the bumper!!!!!

Just kidding. :p

Seriously,your models have a Mean Looking,that I love!!!
Keep it up!!

I painted the rims a darker silver because they were a little too bright. I drilled out the area for the seat belts, I plan on making some belts too. Do you guys think that there is too much red in the interior?

Also what do you think of the spoiler? I took it off of my Chevy 454SS truck, I think it adds an American muscle look to the Skyline. Not sure if I should do it body colour or black though.

Up next:
-clear coat body
-scratch build seat belts (hopefully it goes well lol)
-touch up paint in interior and suspension

Love the interior!!

This wing is lookin good, and the body too, good work!

Well its done! I went with a different wing because I thought it looked better on my RX-7, so I just went with the stock wing. Here is a teaser pic. More pics posted in Completed Gallery.
