Well it's 99.8% finished. Need to paint the small part for the spoiler and add the license plates, but they'll have to wait till I start painting my next project.
I decided to leave the intercooler exposed, for now anyway. Paint is TS-50, tried to clone PMan's....didn't come close to his quality, but overall I'm very pleased with my work! Hope you enjoy and by all me means let me know what you think!!

Looks pretty good to me.
I see you only painted the centre's of the tail lights....i like !! :flash:
With the rear spoiler part that you have to paint, do it dark gunmetal(X10)......the instructions i think say XF16, but if you find pics of real life cars they are darker.
Nice work though :) :)

I thought the lights were suppoesed to look like that!! Guess I lucked out on that one! ;)
Thanks for the tip on the spoiler, will paint it in a week or so.
Next up is the GT3...in TS17
Thanks for the replies!!

whooo for a second i though i screwed up my R34s tailights by painting the rings (looks cool on yours i built mine before altezza lights were out) i made 2 back up lights by the plate instead of one. i plan on redoing the interior(beige for now) i also never got around to putting the mesh on the the intercooler becase i feared that it might hide it.

The R34 GTR only has 1 reversing light the other is a red fog light.
The R34 GT-T on the other hand has 2 reversing lights 1 either side of the plate

Well done on the models and photography. I like the lights too - i like it when people do something a little different to their model.

Thanks for the response! I looked at the build sheet again and it really looks like they instruct to paint the centers only. Of course I could have looked at the box art, or the the pics I have downloaded of Pman's or Guiddy's....guess I got rushed to finish it.
Once again thanks for the feedback!! This site ROCKS!!
