Tamiya skyline r34 gtr
I started this two weekends ago and made really quick progress on it. Didn't take many pics as I was on a butnof a roll. I painted the body before I touched anything else and it went perfect nothing needed touching up so I'm very happy with that.
The only thing I did different from the directions is add some carbon |

Re: Tamiya skyline r34 gtr
Very nice! There once was a time when this place was wall-to-wall Skylines, but now it's a nice change of pace... how strange! And yours is excellent, the paint is gorgeous and it's coming along really well. Can't wait to see more!

Re: Tamiya skyline r34 gtr
based on the hood, it's the r34 v-spec. the v-spec II has a naca duct on the hood. and iirc, an extra wing strut set which is higher than the stock one.

Re: Tamiya skyline r34 gtr
Yes just the v- spec, I might buy the Nismo detail kit for the wheels and exhaust as they really let the car down

Re: Tamiya skyline r34 gtr
Finally my nismo detail up kit arrived. It's actually really good and is going to make the model a lot nicer. I just test fitted on a couple of bits. I'll hopefully finish it tonight, undecided if I'll leave the wheels white or not
The exhaust is a big improvement over the twin exhaust that was standard |

Re: Tamiya skyline r34 gtr
that detail kit is nice, be careful with the decals.
If they are anything like my set that i got a while ago the are very fragile |

Re: Tamiya skyline r34 gtr
Very nice! Bayside Blue is my favourite R34 colour.
Paint those wheels! Gunmetal would be a good choice.
