Quite simply, this 1:12 creation would have to be the best GT-R related model in any scale and in any format I have ever seen.
I have sat in awe of the fussy attention to detail, the painful fabrication of parts, and the genuine care that has gone into putting this masterpiece together. I don't think words can do this project justice, and it is not even finished yet! I too don't care too much for the Veilside kit, as I believe that the original body shape has just the right amount of aggression tempered with conservatism. But the car is going to be something incredibly special. Thankyou for sharing its build-process with us. |

Re: Progress - 1:12 Skyline R32 GTR
Great machined parts. Truly incredible. It really is going to be a shame to paint all those great turned parts. Amazing.

They have every possible size of spring you could want, but they have a £20 min order so, in the end, the company we use at work for all Nuts, bolts and fixing got them (4 off) from his supplier as samples (free). But as I have ordered another 1:12 Skyline (R32 NISMO S TUNE) I may have to get some more. Really might have to do the PE Parts set for this kit |

When the Nismo S-Tune Skyline arrives could you please take some good pictures of the contents and maybe the instruction manual? I'm really interested in this kit, but i'm hesitant to put down $200 for it.

Re: Progress - 1:12 Skyline R32 GTR
as usual there are no words that I can type to express how utterly amazed I am by your work. The parts you made look great on the car, nothing looks off scale or fake, they look like real, miniature, performance parts!
I think if you want a bodykit for this bad boy it should be a one-off Steve custom. Not the dated veilside kit. just my 2 cents do you still need reference or has that been covered sufficiently?

Re: Progress - 1:12 Skyline R32 GTR
With so much detail, I gotta ask, any plans for the linkages between the sway bar and the suspension arms?
