In progress Tommy Kaira R33

Things are getting silly now ! - at the moment I've got the RX8 & R34 "Aeros", Aristo, EVO VIII GSR & Acura RSX all in various stages of completion - so the obvious thing to do is start another one :screwy:
Fujimi 12469 with serious mold lines ! the things just keep coming back :banghead: but I think I've got rid of them now.Colour may well be the purple/green flip that I used on the RX7 awhile back - it was expensive so I'm going to get my money's worth out of it. Anyway here's a pic of it in primer.

Spot on mate - I'm not sure if I'll end up using them as I've already used the same combination on the C-West skyline - waiting on the new 19's from Aoshima (if I'm lucky :mad:)

Nice one. More pics!!

Here's the kit supplied rims & tyres

Yuck! Those look really awful IMO :nono:

The usual. Good stuff. I'll keep an eye on this one.

Those rims actually look good on that skyline. keep us posted.

Glad you didn't keep those rims !!

Whoo -just made 500 posts
I soo want to laugh at that, but I can't. If the car were at normal ride height, with stock paint, I'd drive it. Go ahead, laugh at my lil bitty rims, but I bet this R33 would dogg whatever you have1

awsome skyline as usual, were can i get some of those sleves>

Managed to get the body sprayed up today - paint is Peugeot Blaze Yellow metallic form Halfords. Will probably c/f the hood & rear spoiler (or spray gloss black). Racing Hart wheels are just thrown underneath at the moment and may not be the final choice. I suppose I should scratchbuild an intercooler ! but I might be lazy and just fit mesh.

Looks good, keep up the great work!

intercooler all the way for a skyline, no mesh.

So far so good.

You need a big ass cooler!!

Looking awesome! Fell off my seat when I saw this one, then shook my head in awe!
Can't wait to see it done, keep it up!

My 106 GTI was Blaze Yellow! Brings back memories!!!

well, i'll tell ya those rims SHOULD be the final choice... damn what a nice paint job

A bit more progress - the paint has been polished out and added some HKS decals (thanks to LauBak) - although it's not very clear in the picture I've modified the intercooler from the Tamiya R34 - will get a bit more done over the weekend and post some better pics

ps/ Body just resting on wheels at the mo - may see what TE37's look like - upper rear wing is just placed on - can't decide whether to use the kit part or not.
Thanks for looking
Andy

Terrific work Andy!! Just a note: the Calsonic R-33 intercooler fits in there perfectly! Here's mine with that intercooler...
