JGTC GT300 fd3s

I started work on this last night- starting with Aoshima's Vertex RX-7. Chopped the fenders, widened the wheel wells, and started mod's to the chassis.
I'm stumped on the Enkei wheels though- any suggestions?

hope the pics post- Thanks guys, I'll post pics of the model when there's actually some proress...

Sorry no pics yet guys, my camera is busted. I'm borrowing my friends over the weekend, there will be pics of progress then.
Thanks Vric- you're right, the look a lot like the OZ wheels from Tamiya's Lancer V Rally kit, but with center lock nut instead of 4 lugs. Hmmm....
meantime, I completed the roll cage and started the firewall and dash- everything inside the body of this car is different from the street car, so progress will be slow scratchbuilding so much. I'm giving up using te chassis from the kit- Either a transplant from a Fujimi or completely scratchbuilt. Thanks for looking, and for your patience waiting for pics

If you replicate this monster you'll have a stunning model for sure ! Did you notice the 2 pics are not from the same car ? (different hood).

What about the naca duct between the scoops and the black ... flares(?) on them on the overall view ?
Indeed it's the same No7 car but with a different aero package. Maybe a different race. But that's just small details.

I was going to suggest using the wheels from either the Lancer V or VII WRC kits from Tamiya. Not sure how easy it will be, but I suppose you could fill the center with putty then order a set of center nuts from Sakatsu from any online shop that caries their products. If no one has them in stock, the center locks from the new 2003 Skyline R-34 kits are seperate pieces and you may be able to order them from Tamiya directly...same for the wheels (be sure to try to get the decals as well, or order a set of Eineki rims from Fujimi for the decals).

Agree with that. But maybe you would like to test fit the WRC Evo5/6 Enkei rim into JGTC race tyre. Tyre can be re-order from Tamiya. I did that alot of time
I will be watching this....
