Tamiya GTR in blue

Hey guys. This is the first model I did after discovering automotive forums, my girlfriend bought this for my birthday, after she organized a ride in a 2011 GTR, this car is a demon :evillol: A lot of things went wrong while building this model, snapped the bumper, masking tape left marks on the paint and had to strip the bonnet cause I burned through the paint while polishing. Anyway, learnt a lot and now I’m hooked on modelling. So here it is, in TS 51 Racing blue, criticisms welcome :smokin:

Model looks great, and if your gf both gave you the kit and set you up with a drive, I'd says she's a keeper!

ianc

Nice choice of color - suits the car. Well done!

nice build!

ianc: thanks, yeah she's definitely a keeper

chaos: thanks, the colour is close to one of the 2011 model year stock colours

Jaymes: thanks

:smokin:

btw what's it like in south africa?

btw what's it like in south africa?

Its a beautiful country, we have lots of space and very large houses and lawns compared to most countries, but we have a whole lot of corruption and crime going on, and also, cars are ridiculously expensive as a result of taxation, a new Nissan 370z costs $62 000 and a GTR $158 000 :mad::mad::mad:

btw what's it like in south africa?

Whats it like in California Jaymes? In my mind I think of it as just a whole lot of beaches and girls in bikinis :iceslolan I would like to go there though.. Is there lots of supercars?

It's alrite. Yeah depending on where you're at. The rich areas have supercars...especially near the coast. Looking forward to more builds :smile:
