JGTC Xanavi Nismo R34 GT-R W.I.P

Hey all. I decided to make a thread for this build since it's a motorsports car. I'm currently doing a Skyline GT-R Legend build at the moment and this is part of that build, but I decided to give it a more spotlight since I'm taking my time on this build.
It's from Tamiya so this will be mostly OOB build. Some CF decals will be used though.

2 layers of paint. Need at least one more.


Work in progress on the chassis.

Interior


CF Diffuser


Comments and tips will be greatly appreciated.

I hope you didn't glue the console in the middle allready because that one should be the other way round

^ That is just aluminum foil. Burnish the foil, cut it in the shape it fits, and glue it on.

^ Mine didn't come with CF decals. I have CF decal sheets. I just used water when I placed them down. You can use clear though to seal it in. I prefer you brush it cause if you spray it, it might crinkle up and it'll be too late.

Re: JGTC Xanavi Nismo R34 GT-R W.I.P

@xpedd: last line of bonnet's vents, near the windshield, need to be filled with putty, the job is quite simple but the room to do it is very narrow: I hope you'll take this in consideration since the subject deserve. I would like to see also a bit more definition on brakes: may be a light dark wash would help.
