Scratch-built GT-Wing

Here is the test-result of an idea i got two days ago, making a GT-Wing out of real metal since I´m getting pretty fed up with this CF thing going on just about everywhere and on everything. I wanted a Al-wing on my R34 for a change. I´ve used 0,15 mm thick metal sheet, cutting out the pieces with a pair of scissors, rounded by rolling a metal tube over the wings laying on a cloth. I made the rivets by gently pressing a needle from the opposite side. The whole thing is just glued with CA glue and it´s pretty fragile, also the brackets are from the R34 V-Spec II-kit.

I´m quite pleased with the result, even though a lot can be improved;

It look's real good, But it's way too big IMO.

i agree. the quailty is quite good, and its an awesome idea..it just looks too big

Yes I think so too, but remember that it´s just a test and not the final product. When I decided the size of the thing I just went for the biggest one in the cataloge, in 1:1 scale it would be about 1,60m = BIG. The one that I will make for the R34 will be about 2 cm shorter than this one, that would be 1,2m in 1:1 scale.

Snyggt jobbat!
Nice to see some fresh ideas (as that is somekind of scarces phenomenon at AF :-D), you kind of get stuck in the wheel tracks after a while. I don't think the size is to big, just look at the racing Skylines, they have some pretty big wings! Looks aggresive.

Thats Creative.

Thank you all for your feedback, makes me even more creative! What´s next, a nitrous bottle? We´ll see.
