You forgot to paint the back end of the engine bay the body color (behind the motor block). Either way nice progress.

M.Boy

09-25-2009, 02:55 PM

This is already - in sure sense - the colour of body.

Why did you remask the trim around the engine bay? Did you paint it a different shape, or type, of black?

M.Boy

09-28-2009, 12:12 PM

Yes I painted it black flat.

Whole body will be in carbon so I paint before CF gloss black.

Are you going to be using the Scale Motorsports CF Full monty set? Id be interested in seeing how it comes out & what a full CF car looks like.
Great work so far!!

Did you use only big pieces? Or was there a lot of need to touch up?
BTW - it looks terrific.

I used SMS carbon sheets for GT-R

Looks good, but was there a lot of trimming required? Once the decal is on the car? :thumbsup: The cf looks flawless btw, can't wait for some clear.

PS The way sms put the templates on the decals is retarded!! :slap:

KevHw

10-04-2009, 12:12 PM

Wow! First cf gtr I've seen and you're doing great progress. That's also some serious patience on the masking of the engine bay but the results show the reward for your effort. Looking good, can't wait to see more.

M.Boy

10-04-2009, 12:36 PM

Many thanks!
I made second side and front. With front was harder but it's done.

WOW, that looks awesome, are you gonna clear coat it? it would look awesome with a Smoke clear coat!!!
What about the front fender vents, are they getting the CF treatment too?

five&dime

10-05-2009, 08:37 PM

OMG!!! Sexy!!! So the clear won't damage the decals?

Yes I'm going to put 2k Zero clear coat and before put some black clear from GaiaColor. Front fender vents will be also in CF but with different pattern.

Beautiful results, reminds me of robrex's cf supra!!! Can't wait for the clear.

Did you have to trim any decals once they were on or when they were on and dry?

Keep the updates comin, im loving it!! :eek:

M.Boy

...Did you have to trim any decals once they were on or when they were on and dry?

Yes, I cut and trim some decal when they were on but were not completely dry.

Longer, Polish version:
Aleś zaszalał.... piękna sprawa, mi się marzy zrobienie NSX'a w pełnym carbonie ale niestety umiejętności mi narazie brak na tak poważne zadania.

Ten pierwszy wzór włókien chyba fajniejszy, ale 2 połączone też mają swój urok.

Short, English version:
Awesome job :]

One more thing, you have to be a really good modeler to take photos this close of your work. I tried it once and it showed all sorts of flaws that I could not see beforehand.

These photos show me YOU ARE GOOD!!!!!!!!!
