Thanks!!:biggrin:, as for the door, it was aftermarket detail-up parts from Hobby Design. i just use the resin door frame and inner roof. as for the door, i combine the resin part with the tamiya stock door.

Gorgeous shine on the paint! Did you push the tires out just a bit?

Simply amazing work!

Love the black and carbon look, very cool.:cool:

Looks fantastic, awesome shine on the body..!!!

Great paint and color combination.

Looks great, nice work!!! Welcome!!

Hi, I now have the same kit + door transkit.
How did you add the red to the logo under the opened door?
Look at this picture, to know what I mean:

thanks bro, as for the red "R", what i did was just thin down the clear red n apply on tht "R"
all the best on your build, if need any help or share experience on this transkit, do feel free to drop a message here. :smooch:

Ah, thanks for the answer, though I hoped for a simpler way of doing that, the logo is f*cking small :D
Anyway, thanks and have a nice christmas :)

Hi, I have finally got to work on this beauty and I immediately stumbled to some questions:
Unfortunately there is no indication what to chop off from the original kit. Yeah, the doors, obviously, but then what else? The window, for sure, and the inner door frame from the kit.
But there is a bit more plastic on the side of the dashboard, that needs to be cut away, right? I cannot get the parts to fit together properly, so if you have some pics during your build process I will absolutely look forward to see them :)

Beautiful work...the doors operational are very good...:iceslolan

I liked the carbon fiber parts...they are very well applied...

Congratulations...:bigthumb:

Wow! I like this car and your model! Great job!

Advise: try to shoot models with maximum value "f." for better DoF.

Simply superb all around!

hello, glad to hear that! you already mentioned those that needed to be cut, as for dash board, you are right, it need to be trimmed so that the inner door can be fit in, just sand it bit by bit untill it fit in nicely. WIP picture not much for this car, another thing to watch out is, dont bother trying the PE door hinge that provided with this transkit. it wont work! Rear seat panel, the back part after u separate from the interior door panel, that part need to be glue it to the body, not to the interor tub. hope can help, can shoot me more question anytime, i try my best to share it. all the best.

Beautiful job!

OK, I already figured out that I needed to sand away the parts left and right of the dash.
It now fits better :)
Is there a special reason why I should glue the rear door panels to the body instead of the tub? It fits quite well now.
What door hinge did you use to get it to work, if the PE doesn't?
And did you cut away material of the door underlay so the body can fit better? Fit is not that good at my model.
And what seems to be the case, the A-pillars seem to be bent inwards, how can I bend them outwards?
Thanks for your answers :)

congratulation for your work model more beautiful :thumbsup:

Ok, as for rear door panels, if u glue it to the tub instead of the body , at the end u need to stretch the body quite alot in order to fit it to the chasis, by doing so, u might end up crack somthing. Thats what i experienced.

The resin door jamb, the bottom inner part need to sand flat abit inorder for the body to fit into the chasis nicely.

As for the inner resin roof, just dip in hot water to bent it. The roof that i got is totaly out. I actually cut the thing into half and extend it with putty, due to the resin roof is too small. Im not sure bout yours.

Door hinge u can refer to my Italia WIP, sorry, i forgot which page :banghead:, i use the same way for this GTR.

Hope can help. Just drop me a msg if you face difficulty.
