Re: Progress - 1:12 Skyline R32 GTR

Your Skyline is going to be the first Tuner that is a true masterpiece!

I say that because 1/12 scale is more of a museum type scale as well as your execution.

Few more bits added, Exhaust finished, seat adjusters and light/wiper controls added, all these items are not in the kit.

Working on the Clutch Booster and Fluid tank at the moment.

Thanks for Looking

Re: Progress - 1:12 Skyline R32 GTR

Wow, the car is looking better and better. The machined wiper controls on the instrument binnacle look great, but are you going to leave them polished or paint them the same colour as the rest of the dash like the real car?
The 'Skyline' moulding in the door sill also looks great - the 1:12 cars must really have some amazing detail. It is taking me back a month or so ago to when my best friend sold his immaculate 1:1 R32 GT-R. A sad, sad day that was....
Keep the photos coming! Have you decided on a final colour for the body?

Excellent job as always... It's been a while since I've read this thread and you get yourself a 1:1 car for reference? Wish I can do that, buy a 1:1 Lamborghini Countach Quattrovalvole as a reference for my 1:16th scale
