Post Nissan skyline DRIFT Machine...

i started on a new project this one im doing for my self so im taking my time with it ....
the box art is great

now all i done so far is sanded the body getting ready for primer.and removing the seams on the body



i want to paint the body mica red...thinking about putting carbon fiber on the hood and trunk....the trunk idea still up in the air

Here's the side view with the rim...not to sure if im going to use these or not but its the one that came in the kit....

Well thats all for now... Please any comments are welcome good or bad

Re: Nissan skyline DRIFT Machine...

Well guys while working on the model i came into a big road block......the suspention on the model is way off rear suspention doesn have one....front suspention is all wrong...so im going to have to use some spare parts from other kits chop it up and make due.....i was thinking of making my own suspention but it wouldnt look right so i'm just going to use some spare parts ........from a old kit and a broken kit just to make it at least look ok

Re: Nissan skyline DRIFT Machine...

The kit you are building is likely not a GT-R, but a GTS-T with a GT-R body. It still has the RB motor but it's only a 2.5 single turbo and it's only rear wheel drive. The kit you have is not far from the real deal, but aoshima has a tendency to generalize their chassis and make the bodies look good...for the most part. I suggest building this one as a nice shelf model and getting a Tamiya or Fujimi enthusiast if you want a full detail kit with decent accuracy.

In fact, if you are building a drift car, the Tamiya GR.A R32 is already set up with full cage, gutted interior, race suspension and all the stuff you would normally see on a drift car anyway.
