Looks good! Was planning on doing mine in Mica Blue to be different, but you've beat me to the blue end of the spectrum :nono:

Will be watching with interest (though mine is the Tamiya version).

Hey it looks good! I also think the Aoshima kit is pretty good too, little or no fitment issues at all so far for me. That color is nice, I think I'll do another GT-R in the future in that color since I'm doing mine in Gold.

Nice job on this, and good idea of painting it 'different' (tired of those silver ones...). I like the color although it seems a little bit darker on the body comparing to the can to me...
By the way, Fujimi is to release a version with engine, so I guess that's why it has room to fit in the curbside kit also. Here is the kit with engine:

Does anyone know is the engine available separately?

You could try ordering the engine sprue(s) as a spare part. Probably run you b/w 5 and 10 $.

Can you kindly tell me where I can place that order?

I do not want to hijack the thread, but how about an orange one?

I don't think that the panel lines look good =( I just see no point in marking them black.

Thanks for all the off-topic replies :S

I think I'll use the stock wheels. Maybe paint them in the same Light Gun Metal color like the skirts etc.

I also clearcaoted the body with 4 layers of TS-13.

Now I have to wait at least a week before polishing.

I think the one you want is here (https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10084193). This site (1999) usually shows the instructions online, so you can get the precise part info there hopefully (once it's available).

Then you can email [email protected] with a spare part request.
Just tell them the kit make, name, number, etc, anything to accurately identify it. And the part you want, eg, sprue F or whatever it is.

I think people here are doing this all the time. Just send them an email and ask them how to go about it.

It's a bit late isn't it, for your car? It might require some hacking. Anyway, good luck! Hope that helps.

Thanks! I'll try that. No it's not to late as I need the engine to try to get it into a Silvia or 350z kit.:iceslolan Although I really need to order a new body.

Thanks again. I'll try not to hijack or post offtopic messages in this thread.:rolleyes:

I did nothing with the wheels. They're still like Fujimi painted them :)

After a long time not going further with this car, I thought it must be finished before july.

So I first made the discbrakes from the HobbyDesign PE set. It was not difficult but it cost me a lot of time.

After that I sprayed a layer of smoke on them for some more realistic dept, and look.

I thought it would be a hell of a job to fit these brakes on the Fujimi brake caliper system, but lucky is I'am this looks liked it was made for it :) No modifications at all. They just fit like they should be :D

So I painted the very nice calipers in bronze, and added the Brembo decals on it.

I also started with the chassis. All parts are painted yet, and I have to do some detail painting on them and glue it together. After that I'll give it a light wheatering.

The interior is also started. I painted everything Semi Gloss Black, and now I'll paint some aluminium and flat blue on it. The interiorcarpet will also be blue.

Lots of GT-Rs around here, but this one is worth a look! The brake discs look great behind the wheels. Good luck keeping the tires clean--they look fantastic, but fuzzies seem to like them.

nice color, i'd probably go with the other wheels though (VIP 20") just for kix =) looks great overall

I just finished making the Fujimi GTR in red.

One thing I did find VERY annoying is that they didn't seperate the front grill from the bumper like the Aoshima kit. So painting the grill seperately is VERY time consuming and rather hard to do right. They should've taken the extra bit of time and made seperate molds for it.

Also the rear bumper is a constant annoyance, and I don't really know how to fix it....so I had to use some clear tape to stick it in place.

For some reason the front headlights didn't seem to fit too well, but that could just be my mistake.

apart from that, everything else was great, especially the color and size of the wheels.

The problem with this kit is that Fujimi have the biggest wheels of all kits. So the 20'' inch wheels looks to small on it. On a Aoshima or Tamiya kit they will fitt nicer I think.

I think I'll just use the original wheels but I'm still considering to paint them in an other color....

It's a shame your weathering skills are going to be covered by those chassis plates. I can't help but think the brakes have a rusty look to them but then I guess that matches the amount of weathering you've done. Lovely interior. Personally though I don't like the look of those rear PE speakers...just seems like you've put the PE right over the flocking, rather than the speakers being something solid. iPod is a nice touch.
