Making of Skyline Coupe 350GT

I haven't built Latest Japanese car for several years.
this is latest Fujimi kit. I think this kit is expensive for contents.

Shaved inside of wheel arches 'cause this body has a thick Plastic.

Here are chassis,wheels and interior.
chassis is very simple and wheels looks nice.
I was surprised at back of seats. it's molded! :icon16:
like NSX-R, current Fujimi's it is molded.

Looks pretty good for a new Fujimi kit. I am planning on getting the Nismo, but the stock one might be okay of the rims are big enough.

How big are the rims? Are they real 18" rims, or are they 17" like so many Fujimi rims? If they are the same size as the NSX rims, they are too small. If they are the size of the RX-8, they will be perfect.

Thanks for sharing the pictures, I look forward to seeing this one finished. :smokin:

that is one sweet looking kit dude. cant wait to see more progress.
good colour too, very shiny.
what quality of all the rest of the bits? lights, windows etc.
i am very tempted to get this kit!

Looks pretty good. Keep us posted on how the build goes.

I can't believe they made the Skyline like that now. The R-34 was so nice, now its just the G-35.:(

I canada this car is a G35 infiniti!!

Looks very cool, and good to see how you done the sanding inside the arches , I was looking for a quick and easy method for doing that, now, it's just a matter of getting the dremel and getting to work!


Good to see you've tried another japanese car!

Thank you! Those look great. I may have to get a stock one now. :smokin:

Its called the same thing here in america too but in Japan its the V35 Skyline 350GT.

Looks pretty good in my book. Glad to see you're the first one to post one of these, Kunta. It really gives me a good idea of what the kit can turn out like.

Nice colour!!! what else did you mix with that gun metal to get this colour?

This should be another masterpiece, always look forward to any of your builds, its a standard that i hope to achieve someday.

350 gt hmm? I got a wicked idea for the stock kit. Since it's a 350, and I've got a modern day efi 350 sbc laying around, I think I might do an engine conversion, if my LHS carries it.

Kunta, may I ask what the exact name of this kit is and maybe get the kit number?? Thank you :D

I am thinking to get the Nismo version or the stock version of 350GT. :p

I'm sure this will turn into a masterpiece like all you others

I want, I want, oh well I'll have to wait.. Looks nice so far.
Is there a load of mould lines etc ?

The sit are molded .that sucks

I think that's not the question , if you really want infinity G35 coupe , you only have this choice...

Like amt's Knight Rider , it fgive me a wrong car body...Knight rider shoud be NA Firebird, but in the box is a turbo one...

Thanks.
Mixed Finisher's CLK silver and pure black.

Front/rear bumpers and side skirts are another parts.
the body mold lines are very few. totally, looks nice shape.

The sit are molded .that sucks
No no, I meant the back of seats.

I think KR was Turbo. Cause sometimes when Micheal had to go real fast he'd hit the 'turbo boost' button and it'd send him to 95 in like 2 seconds. Sorry to get off topic kunta. That's a nice kit though. Stil, I'm waiting for chris to make the Veilside version1 body kit before I order mine.

Looks fantastic so far. I'm sure this will turn out to be another museum quality model.

Assembled interior.
painted mixed light tan.
