This FUJIMI kit is strange...
kit comes with engine & transmission, but no other details like battery, master cylinder, etc... And hood is not pre-cut :screwy:
Anyway, built the engine, thou not going to cut open the hood cover.

Fantastic work !!!
Nice refreshing change, seeing something different here..............

Later, Mike :sunglasse

The stripes on the body looks great.
I really like these older cars from the 70's.
Engine also looks super!

Lovely! Paint, stripes, engine, lowering... everything's lovely!
I didn't know I could feel desire for such a car! :lol:

But I do! :eek:

Looks great! Love the paint, great shine, and the pinstripeing looks nice, perfect ride height. great job :sunglasse

now, how exactly did you do the pin stripping? it looks fabulous!

My all time favorite GT-R. Looking too cool.

Very nice!!! :smokin: :smokin: :smokin:

definately a refreshing project ;)
who doesnt love the old gt-r?

Damn, it's gonna make me cry! :crying: :ylsuper: :cheers: :bigthumb: :thumbsup: Basically, I love it!! :sunglasse

nice!, i'm building the kpgc-10... i dont think ppl want to see it posted tho.... i'm putting an rb26dett in it (but i think its rear wheel drive but i dont care... i love your car... its amazing

Overall,very nice.Might take me awhile to warm up to the stripes though.Instead of hiding the engine under a closed hood.How about displaying it alongside the model.

awsome its good to see an older car here.

very very nice, lovely kit, truly excelent painting skills, overall +5

that is such an awesome looking car. Great Build!!! the rims look like they could use some minor blackwashing for depth and detail IMO.

hey, why not let us appreciate your KPGC-10, come on!!

Oh yea, the rims are not done yet, that's what I am gonna do.
Will post more progress here soon!!

Thanks all for the kind comments!!

It's looks so tight at that ride height!
And I Like the engein detail too.

Absolutely love the pinstripes and the colors. Looks just absolutely fantastic. And the engine, I'd save it for another car. But whatever. Just a fantastic model! Love it love it.

Cool!! , well done :thumbsup:

^^^^^^I agree :iceslolan, definetly save the engine for something else. nice paint and pin striping looks beautiful what color is that i love it :)

Got it completed and join a local model show on 19/6, theme: Skyline.
Surprisingly, no one making old cars, tons of R32, R34 and GT cars...

Anyway, here is mine... :p

Very nice,... times 2 :biggrin:

I think it deserves first place:sunglasse

Oh, something good about this show is, it doesn't have any winner. Only showing our work + lucky draw. I was picked at the lucky draw and got a 1/24 Tamiya Subaru WRX kit. :icon16:

I'm sure hoping mine turns out as well as yours. Your's is about as pretty as these Skylines get.

And, like I said, the Ken & Mary Skylines are my favorites. :sunglasse

I like it........luv the pinstripes!!

Beautiful build.
I still remember the first one I saw when I was a kid. It was in black. :)

Beautiful subject and beautiful finish :smokin: I love it :biggrin:

Ain't it fun to go to the model together?
Nice convertible !!!

Nice KPGC suiteR.
Jelly's one looks nice too.

Thanks Guys!!

Actually, I like the classic 110, coz I barely remember I rode on one when I was little. And it's been very impressive!

So, I feel good when finish this one!

Very unique and classy build. I would love to own one of these, thanks to you. :iceslolan

excellent job!

really nice.
Think I'm going to search the shelby '67 to compensate my newer type cars. ;-)
