Nismo GTR34-SpecialEdition (*Lots of BIG Pictures*)

Tamiya 1/24 Xanavi Nismo GTR34-SpecialEdition

Here is my latest project in progress.

The kit comes with some very nice photo etched parts as well as carbon fiber decals, making it a very nice build right out of the box!

I am adding some Scale Motorsports racing harnesses and some additional carbon fiber/Kevlar decals.

Hope you like it! Any feedback would be appreciated!

Thanks

Chris

Great use of carbon fiber and studio27 parts. I'm sure this will turn out to be great!

Re: Re: Nismo GTR34-SpecialEdition (*Lots of BIG Pictures*)

great job! thats some serious detail work!!

although I have to say this model is not complete. seeing Tamiya do such a perfect job on this car and leave out its heart (engine) leaves me wanting more. seriously, seeing you do such a nice job on this and thinking about building one just makes me hate the model for lack of engine detail.

Re: Nismo GTR34-SpecialEdition (*Lots of BIG Pictures*)

Thank you.

I agree with you... the lack of engine detail takes away from the kit. As it does in so many of their kits right now.

I thought about removing the hood and making the block from scratch. Only problem is, I have had a hard time finding any pictures of this car.
