Re: Finished: Tommy Kaira M30 Skyline

Wow ratdat, that looks fantastic.
So lookout for "7th_skyline's 7th Skyline mk2 thread" one day in the near future!
I like the interior, lhd dash was a headspin, but it looks really good. The color really suits it too! I know the wing is a little high, but it still looks cool!

I've ordered another one from HLJ and I'm going to redo mine, because my paint looks ok in photos but its horrible close up (funnily enough, it reacted really badly on the first paintjob in metallic dark blue tamiya paint, then when I stripped and primeredit it was ok in tamiya primer, but with the candy lime it reacted and cracked on the roof and bootlid...).
Also, on the problems with the kit, did you have troubles with the body sitting too high on the chassis when you first fitted it up? I had to mess around for ages to get it to sit down right, it originally sat about 4mm too high up :o And yeah, on the next one I'm going to fit the passage GT projector lenses in, I had them ready but wimped out this time.

The next one - it will be P . I . M . P !
