You're right about it sitting a bit high at the front but that seems to be due to adding the engine and the inner wings not allowing the body to sit right down, may have a go at sorting it one day.

The seats are standard R34 Seats, just painted flat red and opened the holes out.

A bit of a problem with the fit at the moment, same reason as the height at the front. See earlier reply

This is the best I have. It's a bit out of focus, that's why it was not orginally posted, I'll try to take more tonight.

one thing I definately love about your car is the exhaust; it's larger than factory, but not so large so it'll actually hinder performance(this is true) and the whole factory racecar for the street thing is definately covered. I love those wheels! who makes them and what size are they? awesome stuff hiroboy, it's become what we expect of you.

Can't fault that. Top job.

What paint do you use, you always manage to achieve a mirror finish.

*sniff* You are like a god man. That car is so awesome! Everything about it. I cant get over how well everything went together. Im always skeptical about engine swaps, but you have changed my whole view point. I so cant wait for the next model your going to grace our presence with.:)

Martbee
06-02-2003, 06:26 AM
Ouuuuuuuh Yeah... delightful... Wish I built this !

Very impressive, the engine swamp was a must and the model is simply superb.

PS I think I recongnized the wheels... it's from the Tamiya R-34 Kit where you can build the modified version or the factory version. So Bloodhound, go find yourself this fabulous kit. The wheels are at least 18" or maybe 19", I should look when I'll be home but definetely a "must have" kit.

Indeed, indeed, indeed. That is possibly the single best GTR Skyline I've seen. End of sentence. It's so cool. I have to give it one of these.

Thanks for the nice comments guys, some of you asked about the decals
well they are from a Studio 27 set for Nissan Skyline GT-R "HKS" Gr.A 1992 Decals which can be found here :

I will try not to make this sound too corny but you are a car modelling GOD. I can imagine the amount of work you put into it and I assure you that every minute was well worth it. You have a truly stunning model there and you deserve a big pat on the back.
