Time to start a new build. I'll be building the new Nissan GT-R. It's one off my absolute favorites.
I'll be using the Tamiya kit in 1/24 (24300).
The color of the body has allready been painted in TS42 light gun metal with the skirts in TS38 gun metal, this to replicate the Gun Metallic color on the 1:1. It's one off the colors Tamiya doesn't stat in the manual, but in my opinion the best looking color on the GT-R and a close match to the real color.

Some pictures of the painted bodyshell. I've used:
-gray primer tamiya
-ts42
-ts38
-ts13
-tamiya 3 stage polish compound
-meguiars NXT Tech wax 2.0

I'm really happy with the outcome:
