In progress - Tamiya Skyline R34 V-Spec II

First bit of decent progress I've made in months. It's a Tamiya kit painted in Ford Silica Gold. It's a box-stock build, nothing fancy.

On overhead shot, give's an idea of the colour.


A close-up of the underneath of the car. I decided to put some BMF on for the heat-shielding, gives a better shine than the X-11 indicated in the instructions. I also gave the exhaust a blackwash to pick out the detail.


Here's a shot of the fantastic 2nd set of wheels that come with this kit, and my attempt at a Nismo logo


...and a close-up of those wheels.


I've yet to start on the interior, and the front, rear and sideskirts are currently waiting for their clearcoat to dry.

The spoiler may have some CF decals, and I'm wondering about doing some on parts of the dash. I'll see how it goes.

I should've picked the V-spec 2 instead of the V-spec.

A bit more progress - the interior is 95% done and the body is almost finished. There's still the wing to build, and a few little bits left to attach.



This second shot shows off the paint job, the best shine I've managed so far

I don't really like the gold color itself, but you've done a great job painting and finishing it. Keep it up!

As requested ...




All non-black areas are hand painted, which accounts for the crazy drunken lines.

Another body pic, from behind.



That's all for now, folks
