Finished: Fujimi Skyline 350GT

[Veyron]

A pretty nice kit overall yet very simple. As ZoomZoom pointed out they got the rise down the center of the hood a little higher than should be.

I painted it Modeler's Pearpl Blue, that's the way they spell it as they combine pearl and purple. The paint appears to be blue with purple pearl in it. I clear coated with TS13 Tamiya Clear and painted the interior with acrylic cream accented with a caramel color. I painted the grill with acrylic semi gloss black then rubbed the black off the raised areas with a toothpick after paint dried. I ride hight was too high so I lowered it about 3/16", otherwise it is box stock except for the Tamiya Nissan metal tranfer emblem on the trunk.

Very, very nice build. Great colour choice to. Have you got any pictures of the interior?


I think I prefer the rear styling of this car to the 350Z. I wonder if it's possible to chop and joint a 350Z and a 350GT?

I like this picture. It looks like it was lifted straight out of a Nissan sales brochure.

The car looks practically real, Veyron. Good show!

Very Nice, A very basic kit but it look so cool finished.
I'm in the process of painting mine at the moment (Pearl white) (only came yesterday).
The door mirror are a bit of a let down don't you think, they stand off the car more in real life, like the 350Z.
Did you open up the vents at the front (i'm doing that) but it requires mods to the mounting brackets.
Nice touch with the front grill.

Sorry, no interior pics.

is the windows and clear part fit correctly ? I hade some problem with fujimi kit and lights and windows not fitting corectly.

Clear parts fit perfectly, windows are a little blurry, Fujimi has never made a good clear, clear part without swirl marks etc.

The door mirror are a bit of a let down don't you think, they stand off the car more in real life, like the 350Z.

The triangular part of the side mirrors needs to be reduced in size by sanding the edges. I did not open any vents, that would look better though, my aim was to build it quick and stock. Will build the NISMO version later.

Thanks, guys!

That is very beautiful color and smooth build.
I'd like to try that color some day.
Great work as always!
