To practice a bit with my airbrush I picked up a simple Aoshima kit out of my pile.

It's the Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R Nismo.

There are not many parts in it. Some extra parts for the drift option are included but I think I don't use them.

It will be OOB but only some different colors.

The body is already sanded, and the panellines are cutted out.

The kit includes some nice Nismo rims, which will be used of course.

I think this Metallic Midnight Blue from AutoAir would be a nice color for the body.

The interior will be grey/blue.

Nice paint job! What kind of airbrush you have? I'm looking into buying one myself.

Wow - excellent paint work. I have been thinking about an airbrush for a while, and I think you have just convinced me. Perhaps Santa will be kind to me this year!!

I use a Harder & Steenbeck Evolution Two in One.

It's a really nice airbrush and one of the best airbrushes you can buy if you are a beginner or a prof.

I always kept away from airbrushes because they are very expensive, and you also need a expensive compressor. But it's more than worth it, cause the paint is very cheap comparing the expensive spraycans.

^ Too pricey for my blood. Maybe when I'm more serious in this hobby I will invest in one. Right now, I'm too busy building a new computer set up and it's sapping up all of my money. =(

Nice progress kris, i like the weathering on the chassis. Those tamiya sets are great to use. Everything looks good. Did you scale down the magz or are they bought?

These magazines are bought from Scaleproduction.de, but I also have my own scaled donw magazines. I only need a better printer which prints more sharper.

gosh, you have gotten so good at this.
The paint application in all respects is simply beautiful.
I remember way back when you first started posting pictures.
Incredible to think where you are now.

VERY Impressed.

@sileightsix: Thank you very much :) Yes I do get a lot of nice replies from people, and I really improved the last years. The last years i'm very busy with modelling and with forums like this and many others, my skills are getting better and better :) I even write articles for a dutch Tamiya magazine with my own models :) and win prizes on contests in Netherland. That are my best compliments and I like it when other people like my work.

A couple weeks ago I polished the body, but after a week the paint was still not dry enough on some areas. I polished trough the paint and it felt like rubber.

I putted the body in the brakefluid and the next day I primed it again. I also added another 4 layers paint on it, and than wanted to clearcoat it. This time I used a spraycan from Motip. After one layer (before adding the decals) I wasn't satisfied with the result, so I putted again in the brakefluid.

A couple days ago I primed the body again, and today I putted 5 layers of paint on it.

Now it looks like this:

I also painted the wheels and rearspoiler with Gun Metal paint from Humbrol. The spoiler is clearcoated and the wheels will be matt.

And this is how it looks like at the moment:

http://www.modelbrouwers.nl/albums/coppermine/albums/userpics/10027/opnieuw_008_%28Medium%29.jpg

Meanwhile I added 3 layers of TS-13 Clear on it, and it looks good to me :) Some polishing will do the rest :D

I have been following your build and it is looking great! Keep up the good work! It takes a lot of work to write articles for a magazine so, congratulations.

I am far from an English expert but, one small note: "I putted the body in the brakefluid" Should read I put the body in brakefluid. The word "put" is past tense and "I am putting" is present tense.

Your English is really good and I hope to read more of your posts,
Mark

I don't see them, but that is because i'm colorblind. Probably it is a small piece of red, and because I use bright light the red plastic shines trough. After placing it under the body you won't notice it anymore :)

Thanks :)

Really? Didn't know you were colorblind. Are you colorblind to red? Because I was wondering how you would know if your red would come out great for your FTO. '__'

Yes Xspeed :) My hole life is in black/grey/white shades :D:lol:

No, off course I can see red. But a few colors are hard to see for me. I can see them, but don't know what color it is. Especially with colors like blue and purple or green and brown. The different shades between them are hard to see.

For the interior I really don't see any red shines trough, but I don't know why :D

I still can see cool colors, and that's why I choose Pearl Red for the FTO :D

From a fellowed modelling friend I've got some new decals for the emblems and other decals from a calsonic R32.

I added them after 1 layer of TS-13 Clear and then I added 3 more coats.
