Re: Progress - 1:12 Skyline R32 GTR

Overall, You got it made bro!
I thinking of you doing an all blue theme...
like the N1 RB26(Blue)
but since you're keeping the bay blue, red makes it stand out more.

Idunno abt the hood tho... but its pretty cool.
hmm... maybe you cud find a way to do that effect on a painted cf hood... visible cf patterns over paint? O_o =/

Keep it up man!

Re: Progress - 1:12 Skyline R32 GTR

I would paint an N1 the off-champagne color it's supposed to be. There would be no way to distinguish it from a standard RB26 in scale modeling if the valve cover is blue. The differences (between std. RB26 and N1) are mostly internal and since Steve has a different turbo I don't see painting an RB26 valve cover blue and calling it N1. Taking someones word for it, if you will.

This is the specific reason why Steve painted the valve cover Ruby; to visually show an R34 RB26 swap.

Re: Progress - 1:12 Skyline R32 GTR

Managed to get some 1:12 scale Carbon Fibre Decal sheets sent over (3 days delivery from the US to UK) from those guys at http://www.scalemotorsport.com/

I used 2 parts and blended them together and it looks great now, no seam showing at all.
Batteries are out in the Digi-cam so I'll post some pics very soon.

Wow.
I lost track of the brake developments...are the rotor hats actually "bolted" down and are the lug nuts threaded?
Incredible!!!
