Skyline Kpgc-10 work in progress

bri g · 05-15-2007, 02:37 AM

Hi guys, since we're having a big sale here in the Philippines and you can pick up the old school skyline models for 3USD a piece, we decided to have a group build and here is my contribution

going to build it box stock basically except for a wheel swap.

here it is in primer stage

testfitting the new wheels - SSR reverse mesh, painted in alclad chrome

here is the final color choice, a sort of metallic bronze color. ties into the old school theme I think

building this together with Evil_hanzel and some other guys. we'll definitely post some pics when everyone is done with their kits.

both good and bad comments are welcome

Did you make a typo and mean 30USD...or did you really mean 3USD!? Holy cow how I'd love to get my hands on one! Looking good so far. How's the interior coming along?

yes its 3USD. i got the same kit too, its posted somewhere in this forum, the black pgc10 skyline with suzuki samurai. bri g, me some other friends of ours all got the same 3USD skyline kit for a group build.

BTW bri, nice build, lookiing great!!!!
psst, you have an extra R31 body? i broke mine. i just need the shell/body.

thanks guys! for a 17 year old kit, the fit and finish is not too bad. I hate the generic fujimi chassis though. if you notice the front wheels, it looks like its pushed forward a little.

kevhw, yup i really meant 3 dollars

cheap kits to practice painting with. unfortunately I haven't started the interior yet, any color suggestions other than flat black?

tan interior.

Pimped out white leather with sky blue stitching

...half of me sees that as a joke...the other half wonders what it will be like
