Finished the Kure Skyline!

Well, apart from a few things I want to add when I get back to the UK such as the bonnet pins and the aerial as they require the Dremel drill. I don't think I'll bother trying it with a Black & Decker!!!
But I hope you enjoy the odd photo until then!

Looks great. As usual it looks to have been done to your high standard.

I think its one of the nicest kits to come out from Tamiya. Can i see a racing collection coming up ???

I really hope you are going to be carefully getting these finished models home Dan.

Strangely enough it was one of those kits I never thought I'd finish! I bought it to do a road car as per Lau Baks version!
But looking round the house for something to bring to Oz I noticed it had been primered! The rest as they say is history!
Glad I had it as Philip Island was boring as hell in the evenings!!!
As soon as that enourmous wing went on I fell in love with it's looks! It's so damn mean, especially from the low front angle!
It has lots of carbon fibre too, the rear undertray, the air scoops, the dash board and telemetry equipment!
I can't find any harnesses here so I need to add those when I get home.

I will remove the wing and mirrors for the journey home. As long as the rest is packed tight it shouldn't get broken!

This is my favourite angle!
The colour choice was also perfect, with just the right amount of metalic in the black!
I am very happy with this one, and the paint is soooo shiny!!!

And as we all know from WRC, color choice is critical! No, wait! Oh I'm thinking of tire choice.

Seriously nice looking model. Hope it makes is home OK.

Top shelf, as usual, Dan!

They say black is the hardest color to polish, but you make it look as easy as 1-2-3!
