Tamiya GTR in blue
Hey guys. This is the first model I did after discovering automotive forums, my girlfriend bought this for my birthday, after she organized a ride in a 2011 GTR, this car is a demon A lot of things went wrong while building this model, snapped the bumper, masking tape left marks on the paint and had to strip the bonnet cause I burned through the paint while polishing. Anyway, learnt a lot and now I’m hooked on modelling. So here it is, in TS 51 Racing blue, criticisms welcome
My girl and I infront of the 2011 GTR: Thanx

Re: Tamiya GTR in blue
The only criticism I'd put forward is your photos are a bit dark. The car looks great. nice build.

Re: Tamiya GTR in blue
Model looks great, and if your gf both gave you the kit and set you up with a drive, I'd says she's a keeper!

Re: Tamiya GTR in blue
Its a beautiful country, we have lots of space and very large houses and lawns compared to most countries, but we have a whole lot of corruption and crime going on, and also, cars are ridiculously expensive as a result of taxation, a new Nissan 370z costs $62 000 and a GTR $158 000
