Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32)

[Shelby 427 1965]

Had a hiccup with the bonnet but overall I'm fairly happy. The bonnet was knocked over in the spray booth after a fresh coat, so stayed in brake fluid for a few days, then the bloody thing broke at the top right. But I don't think it's too badly noticeable.. I hope. I based it on the car I use a lot on Gran Turismo 5, but in the game I just wanted a black hood but that's not possible without making it carbon fibre, so the model has just the black hood. Also as the kit is the group A race car, there's a few subtle differences. Fairly happy with it. Working on eventually having all the Skyline Rxx series cars. This kit was one of the first cars I ever built, so I included that one with this in a few pics to show improvements in my skills. This was my first time adding any form of wiring to an engine too. Comments and criticisms appreciated!

Added a bit more detailing on the engine, as I saw it had no battery, and improvised hood pins:
