Best of luck on your skyline. Sounds to me like you will be doing a considerable amount of detail work. Good luck!

I dont think this should be in the motorsport section.

Re: Tamiya R33 Skyline GT-R

Oh, didnt really know which to catergorize it in, but on the subject of color, I was thinking the factory purple, or silver, unless someone can suggest a better color.

Re: Tamiya R33 Skyline GT-R

Update!: Rollcage 70% Complete!
Here's a picture.

The Rollcage and Strut Bar are all made from Solder.


Here's a shot of the hood, I was looking into other ways to mount it, but here's the side opening way.

Rims

Finally my camera charged up, so here's the body sitting on the wheels at the desired ride height (maybe a bit lower in the rear).

Thanks to a WRX 1/24 for these rims.
