Calsonic Nissan Skyline GT-R 2003

Here is my latest creation. Tamiya kit was built from the box with the exception of Crazy Modeler Tyre logos and an antenna from piano wire. Paint was Tamiya TS-44 polished but not cleared. I prefer that my race cars not have a "perfect" complexion. Light weathering around the exhaust to hide a smudge from dropped glue. The pictures aren't the greatest, but they'll do for now. I have learned 2 things... 1.I want to build more of the GT-R kits and 2. I want to build more Calsonic cars. Both are a blast to work on and I've made a list of the available Tamiya GT-R and Calsonic kits and I plan to try to work my way through them.

Looks really good. I've always liked this car and have this kit on my to-do pile. You're building up a nice looking collection too. Could possibly do with a light wash around the door lines in my opinion. Definitely take some outdoor pics if you can to really show off your build.

Really cool

Thanks Kev. I actually planned to do a wash before I decaled. However, I put a couple of decals on and before I knew it, I was finished with it. This weekend, I'm gonna try to throw a wash on it and glue the body to the chassis so the mounting tabs don't show. I'm also going to take some better pics and I'll replace these with some outdoor shots.
