Nismo GTR34-SpecialEdition (*Lots of BIG Pictures*)

Tamiya 1/24 Xanavi Nismo GTR34-SpecialEdition

Here is my latest project in progress.

The kit comes with some very nice photo etched parts as well as carbon fiber decals, making it a very nice build right out of the box!

I am adding some Scale Motorsports racing harnesses and some additional carbon fiber/Kevlar decals.

Hope you like it! Any feedback would be appreciated!

Thanks

Chris

Day 1

Great use of carbon fiber and studio27 parts. I'm sure this will turn out to be great!

Re: Re: Nismo GTR34-SpecialEdition (*Lots of BIG Pictures*)

great job! thats some serious detail work!!

although I have to say this model is not complete. seeing Tamiya do such a perfect job on this car and leave out its heart (engine) leaves me wanting more. seriously, seeing you do such a nice job on this and thinking about building one just makes me hate the model for lack of engine detail.

Re: Nismo GTR34-SpecialEdition (*Lots of BIG Pictures*)

Thank you.

I agree with you... the lack of engine detail takes away from the kit. As it does in so many of their kits right now.

I thought about removing the hood and making the block from scratch. Only problem is, I have had a hard time finding any pictures of this car.
