Carbon fiber on R34 2003 skyline?
I'm currently detailing this car, and was wondering which areas are carbon fiber. So far, I know the lower dashboard, center instrument console, and window side pillars are CF.
How about the chassis? Is the entire chassis CF? Tamiya indicates the main chassis is X29 black, while the rear chassis and diffuser are TS29 black. The rear of the driver's seat is carbon kevlar. How about elsewhere? Is the inside of the wheel well carbon material? The instructions say to use XF-60 dark yellow. If the doors are also made of CF, it'll be difficult to detail that due to the pits and depressions everywhere.

Everything in X-18 should be Carbon.

Re: Carbon fiber on R34 2003 skyline?
Take care: the windows side pillar is just plastic in the real car, and not CF like Tamiya has done on their special edition kit of the Xanavi. It's a mistake I've seen so many times!...
Doors are CF. All the chassis too, but I'm not sure the "yellow" parts have to be "kevlarised": none of the pics I saw has shown any kind of texture... It may just have to be as Tamiya indicates: dark yellow... Logicaly, the side mirrors and the rear wing are CF too! But they do appear close to black, due to the fact that there must be a clearcoat on it in "real life". All the other carbon parts of the car have a semi-gloss finish which makes them look brighter. So you have the choice to replicate this difference by painting the side mirrors and the rear wing gloss black, or to add a layer of smoke upon cf decals... pics can be found here: http://www.motorsport.com/photos/ser...?Y=2003&S=JGTC and eventualy here: http://www.calsonickansei.co.jp/race...dex.html#y2003 and of course here: http://supergt.net/en/ (race archive) also a Flash rendering of the cockpit here: http://www.nismo.co.jp/M_SPORTS/ente...pit/index.html
