My 2nd Skyline in progress

Plan to leave this straight from the box - it's the Fujimi R34 25 GT Turbo "Full Aero" (it was cheap @ HJL).
Wheels are from the Tamiya R34 kit with trim rings from Aoshima Scara's - I think I'll paint the centres gunmetal.
Colour will be Nissan Midnight Purple. Anyway heres the pics :-

i like it

paint it red candy red

just to mix it up

its gonna be another hot one . are you gonna put graphics on it ?

Those rims are awesome. Cant wait to see the paint :eek:

imo a candy red would look to much like hiroboy's latest project http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=170362

im half way through the same kit but the nismo version found the side skirts to fit like shit. flyonthewall used a good fitment method for fujimi skirt on a rx7 review cant find it thou

That looks really hot. Purple will look really good on that car. Keep us posted on the build. I'll be looking foward to it.

Andy! Another one!? Cool! How about some
GT
R

Andy! Another one!? Cool! How about some graphix? Maybe do some flames? never seen a flamed skyline before. your centers, imo should be gloss black.

Did the kit come with that body kit? Looks too good to be Fujimi.

WOW .... That is the SHIZNIT its going to be a hot skyline

Did the kit come with that body kit? Looks too good to be Fujimi.
Yep - bodykit is straight out of the box - code is FUJ03453 - 1,600 yen @ hobby link Japan

its gonna be another hot one . are you gonna put graphics on it ?
Not sure at the moment - I was thinking just keep it simple - but we'll see :naughty:

that skyline looks sick

Only 1,600 yen? Dang. I think I just found another kit I really want to buy.

Can't wait to see this one finished.

keep this one wingless!!!

Managed to spray up the body today - colour is Nissan Midnight Purple-it's difficult to get the paint effect as it's dark now. Yes this one will be wingless :evillol:

Looks Amazing already, and its not even done yet. Ill be watching this closely.

JeFF

another masterpiece!!! cant wait to see more pics!!

Awesome work. I really like rims.

Stunning already!!

Looking good, that paint is a bitch to photograph.
You've got that Skyline bug now, don't you. :)

hey man awesome skyline could u tell where to get deep dish wheels like that and other styles? thanks.

awesome idea.

technically those aren't deep dish wheels. Those are the Tamiya Skyline R34 Vspec II nismo eedition wheels that come as an optional part to use. What Andy did, was litely graize the rim where the tire would slip over with sandpaper, and using pegasus 23'' aluminum sleeves(sleeves with tires that fit around your rim, http://www.pegasuswheels.com/ )and simply slipped them kinda far into the sleeve to acheive the deep dish look. This does work well, especially if your trying to replicate HRE 446 19'' aluminum polished wheels, you can use the stock chrome 6spoke rims that come with the kit that I stated above, and cut the rear half of the rim off and fit it half-way into the sleeve, thus, acheiving an HRE 446, 19'' polished 6spoke look.

That Color is tight!!!! I dig the rims too and that you are going to leave it wingless.

Here's where I am at the moment - paint has been polished out, window trims sprayed,lights and mesh grille fitted.

Tempted to paint the inner rims gold. :evillol:
BTW - I think I know why it was cheap - just discovered that there's no door panel detail on the interior :mad: - still won't to be too noticeable once everthings together.

awesome work, really clean...why didnt u paint the inner rims gold...im sure it would've looked nice :sunglasse

They will gold but I haven't got round to it yet - just in bare plastic at the moment

keep this one wingless!!!

fujimituner is on another wingless campaign!! LOL :iceslolan

that really looks awesome Andy, everythings in good taste, sucks about the door panels. you'll figure something out though :evillol:

Will probably wait and see what the new Aoshima rims are like before making a final decision on the wheel choice.

HOT!, looks real pimp man :smokin:

Cool looking R34...:D

very nice, interior looks great with the body color

Very Very Hot

Beautiful!!!

I think I've finally made a decision on which wheels to use
http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/500/67086cs-med.jpg
They're the ones from the Nismo Skyline Coupe with Junction Scara 19" trim rings & tyres. Sorry pic is poor quality.

I love the audacious color choice, it suits so well this beautifull shiny purple body!
Whatever the rims you choose, it will look wonderfull!
And wingless!!!!
You're just taking my heart! lol!

Great looking car! I like both colors, and interior and exterior!

Expecting a package from HLJ soon so Coupe may end up witheither TE37's CE 28's or Racinghart CR's :naughty:

Finally been able to make a decsion on the wheels as my order from HLJ turned up this week - going to go with TE37's - not much more to do except the suspension, exhaust etc.
