Skyline KPGC10 (2000GT-R)

[Hiroboy]

Started this one off last Xmas, and I'm sure I never posted any of the work.:?:

Well I wanted to make a custom racing version, stripped out interior, etc, with engine detail, so the Tamiya kit was the obvious starting point.

I know you can purchase Fujimi/Aoshima kits in racing trim, but fancied doing it myself.

So this is the progress so far, I picked it up again last week and started to do a bit of work again, making a custom oil cooler.

The wheels are from two different Fujimi RS watanabe kits to get the deeper dish on the rears and shallower on the fronts.

The decals were created and printed by myself but, I must thank Kunta for the help with the Japanese Text

I do hope to finish this one

Enjoy

Hi,

this model always appeared boring to me.

Looking at your progress it makes a "Must Have" for me!!!

[kunta]

Impressive!!
I never thought that you've already advanced it up to this stage.

When i saw the pic of the box i said to myself ''damn , i'll have to wait before showing mine'' but then i saw you were building the racing version and i was like ''phew!''

Good job so far. I'm always amazed at your putty work

Btw , Could you tell me what technique you used to paint the raised letters on the valve cover ,please.

Awesome flare work, will you inlcude the "rivets"?
What are those tires/slicks from?

The engine looks mighty fine too, great detailing.

Wow, that is amazing! that craps all over my build, lol!
I used the same car for reference on my flares. Can't wait to see this one finished, beautiful.
