Thanks for looking.

wow i like it alot, specially the wiring!

Allthough I´m not a big fan of this kind of tuning, I think it´s a very nice build and shows that you are a talented builder.

Keep it up!

Wow!! Nice job that is fantastic!

It turned out pretty darn good...and I still love yellow cars so you might say that I'm partial :naughty: I wonder why there is so little yellow cars in my collection after all. Come to think of it, I have mostly white and blue cars :screwy: Need to rectify that next year....and that's tomorrow :eek7: wonder what happend to good old '04.
Once again, nice build hope to see more like this in the nearby future.

Happy new year!

I don't like the smoothness auf the frontbumper. I think that is a bit against the overall lines of a R32 Skyline. But nonetheless a cool build!

Real nice!

I love it!. Only thing against it is the lines near the taillights, but its fantastic. GJ

Nice bodywork! Love the Nt03 wheels.

very nicely done.. i think its a bit messy in places tho.. u should maybe take some more time on the little details

Yes, the front bumper looks like it was made from just putty rather than sheet styrene, which is a bad thing.

Also, I would have have thought more about the panel lines because at the moment it looks as though the front and rear bumpers would be formed as a single unit with the main body, which on a full size car they aren't.

Overall it is a nice model, but it takes more work on the details including clean masking to make a model look fully realistic.

Nice Skyline, but Skunk2 (http://www.skunk2.com/)doesn't make any parts for the Skyline mostly parts for Hondas. I'm just telling you this b/c I got curious.

Nicely done!

Nice looking effort.
IMO it would look better with no amp wiring to give it a nice-tidy look

Looks Killer!!! that yellow is Aweosme!!

Looks great, got some skills there buddy, the only thing i would do is extend the rear panel lines, other than that its a excellent model

Im not a big fan of imports but I like this one great job

I like the yellow
good job

Thanks for the nice comments guys! I know I need to work on my "panel-lining skills". They aren't very clean. Next to that, it was the first time using Tamiya putty. Myself I'm very satisfied by it's look, but I have to agree with some of you, that I'm not done learning :D
About the Skunk2, How gives a damn, the decal looks great!
