In Progress: Initial D BNR32 Skyline GT-R

This one been sitting on my bench for months now.

It's a Tamiya R32 Skyline. Yes yes, I know Fujimi makes the official Initial D version, but it just SUCKS! So I went with Tamiya since it has engine details and the body is much more accurate.

There was only 1 problem, Tamiya's R32 was the normal version, but the Initial D is V-Spec II....the only exterior visual difference was the 2 intake holes in the front bumper. That was easily taken care of with a cutter and alittle putty


The car is basically stock. The comic or anime never explained what Nakazato had done to his car. Also, his car was completely stock looking anyways, so I didn't bother adding anything.....except for this boost guage I noticed watching the 1st episode of 2nd Stage.


Stock engine bay~


So how can this be the Initial D version if everything is stock? You ask.
Here's how:

LOL~ Decals!

I hope to finish this one within the next couple of days. All that's left is the body, windows....maybe another coat of paint, just maybe.

Tell me what you guys think

The boost gauge is from this.
http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?FUJ11052
The Fujimi Muffler tune set. It's cheap for the amount of things you'll get. 2 boost guage with decals, 1 (or was it 2?) Racing seat, loads of silver plated mufflers and a small sheet of tuning decals. All for 1000yen, LOL, I'm in no way affilated with Fujimi.

Thats awesome. I love all the Initial D cars. the paint looks good like that, though the pics are a bit dark. I like the boost gauge.

Re: In Progress: Initial D BNR32 Skyline GT-R

AWWWWWWWWWWW !!!!!!!!

A terrible thing has happen.....the body accidentally got too close to a heat lamp and the top is now all out of shape and there's no way to fix it ><"
Gees....and I was about to finish it too

Right now, I'm asking my friend who's in Hong Kong to see if he can get me another R32 kit, cause I can't find any locally, nor do I want to wait for HLJ to ship it over.

If anyone has a spare R32 body, I'll gladly take it off your hands! Thanks.

Wow, glad to see you building again! Too bad about the car though...... Anyways, I watched Initial D Special Stage today, and noted that the R32 has a Bride seat, not sure what kind.

Hope you get a new body soon.

Re: In Progress: Initial D BNR32 Skyline GT-R

Uh oh, Bride seat?! Guess Chris can expect an order from me soon

My friend might have a race version 32 hidden somewhere, if he finds it, then this project can get back on track very soon. If not, I might have to go buy the only 32 that I could find in town today, which isn't cheap.

TanKaBoY, are you planning to build all the Initial D cars? That's my goal too. I have the two 86s and DC2 on the waiting list. Also I'll be ordering some FDs for Keisuke's car.
