Been working on this for the last few days on and off while I was finishing the FTO. It's a Tamiya Skyline R33 GTS 25t (Not GT-R)

The paint is not cut back yet or polished, The paint was supplied (with thanks) by JimBob, it's a custom mix I asked him for, but the indoor photo's don't do it justice, I'll get better ones soon.

The rims if you don't know are Aoshima 19" Work Equips, with the centres de-chromed and painted gold.

I have not done any body mod's on this one as I like the shape as it is.
not sure where it'll go now, things will come to me, but i'll have a BIG wing of course

Thanks

That paint is hot. Wonderful shine as always. I'll be looking forward to when this gets done.

nice

i really like the color

great start

looks so.... un-fender-y.

sweet color, though!

lol, nice way to describe it... the color is awesome and i bet the model will be when done...Gold rims go well with the color too...

looks sweet.....thats a cf decal on the hood right

That looks sweet, Awesome paint job.

another masterpiece.

like mcdonalds, "I'm lovin' it"... but without the part about getting fat :)

WOW another cool project. Can't wait to see more. :)

nice work!! i always love to see an R33.

That looks great steve!!!
like that paint!!! the colour looks good on the skyline.

JIM

Chris - I posted that paint ages ago - LMK whats the prob mate!

Woo hoo!Very nice.

Absolutely love that colour!! Nice to see a non GT-R Skyline get done. I did start a GTS 25t once but got a bit keen with the colour and it ate through the primer and etched the plastic :banghead:

How are you going to go about fitting a different rear wing?

I think the only thing I feel isn't right are the rims ...not the style (they suit it perfectly) but the offset. I always think a deep offet on the front, same as the rear looks slightly wierd ...even though deep rims look really cool :iceslolan But that's just me being picky :iceslolan :lol: I don't expect it's all that easy to sort a shallower offset if using sleeves though, right? (Don't know...never used them)

Beautifull!!

Looks great without a wing, maybe you should go for the clean, smooth look. The wheel and paint combo is very nice.

Wingless baby!!!

More done again :

SAS Photo etched brake discs added, clear side indicators, rear wing is in mock up stage still, Interior completed
Bonnet covered in Scale Motorsport 1:43 Carbon Fibre Decal (IMO much better scale than the 1:24)
Thanks

Wow, that looks very good. Carbon work looks even better.

Looks sweeter with each post :eek:

bump

can we please get a better pic of the CF, I used 1/12 which looks better than 1/24 IMO. but maybe 1/48 is even better than 1/12.

Sick paint-job, interior-exterior color combo, and wing. also nice touch with the ENDLESS banner.

:iceslolan

pure secks... :) great model

The CF on the hood nicely contrasts the color of the car. Awesomely stunning kit as always.
Those brakes look a little small for the kit. You need some BBKs.

how could I miss this model. Steve.... I wish I could be civil with my comment but your models bring out the animal in me.. I just wanna hump it!! :boink:

Cool! Makes me want to rebuild my GTS 25t model.

Steve,
Where do you get all your inspiration from. This looks unreal!!!
Rob

Awesome job! Love the wheels!!
