From this

To this

Will begin when I get the red paint for the shell

What color red will that be? Nice project, BTW... already get the decals?

got two sets just in case I make a mistake.

It will either me Itallian red or Metallic red. Don't know which is the best match

Italian red is bright... that color looks much darker, more towards maroon.

What color is TS-39 Mica Red?

TS 18 Metallic red looks closer.

here is a better pic not soo much shadow.

TS 39 is too dark

To complete this project I need to get hold of the standard R32 GTR side mirrors as the Calsonic car has the wrong mirrors

Are you sure that those mirrors won't be included in the kit? They often include more than one set.

Wait a minute, you're worried about what mirrors to put on, but you don't seem to mind that the colour you have chosen is wrong? Call me stupid, but the colour of the car in those pictures doesn't look very metallic to me, and yet you've opted to use metallic red on it. But hey, what do I know. I'm colourblind.

This winfield sponsored Skyline is a solid red colour. Tamiya's TS-8 Italian red will be spot on. I have a good picture of the car in one of my Australian Touring car magazines, but can't scan it.

Italian Red seems a little bright for that color

I think if you use Italian Red, use a Dark Grey or Black primer to make the shade darker (red, yellow, white are affected by primer color)

tazdev · #12 03-17-2002, 03:04 AM

I have even been watching the old footage and still can't seem to work out which colour will best suit so far TS18 IS the closest match.

I will see what the Itallian red looks like with a grey primer coat.

As for the mirrors there are definatley only one set in the kit

ales · #13 03-17-2002, 03:22 AM

Mate, go and buy some automotive paint... It will probably be chaeper and match more correctly.

How can a metalic red be the closest match if the car isn't even metalic!!!

Good, I'm glad someone agrees with me!!! I thought what I put earlier was just being ignored.
