Completed: Top Secret R34 Skyline

[itchya]

This is my completed Aoshima Top Secret R34. It's my 2nd attempt at modeling so please take it easy on me haha ! Anyways, more about this build. The body and wheels were painted tamiya ts-21. I used mesh to create the carbon fibre pattern on the hood, trunk, rear diffuser, and spoiler. I also scratchbuilt 2 sets of seatbelts for the interior (very time consuming ).

Rants:
This was my first time working with so many decals and I had a little trouble with them. They can get a bit overwheming. CFing using mesh was hard since the parts (ie hood) had a lot of bends. The spoiler was also hard to fit on. The rear diffuser looks great though

Kit feedback:
I thought that this kit was very good quality and easy to assemble compared to my first model. I liked the spring suspension because it made it really easy to adjust the ride height (no more cursing! ) The body had very little mold lines so I guess that saved me some work in the beginning. I think I'll be building more aoshima kits in the future.

Ok enough reading already here are the pics! Any comments are welcome, enjoy

DAMN It's absoloutly impressive!!!. The only it needs is the clear coat, but nothing more. Your second model?? You have skills then man!! You're going to be on the top in no time then...
BTW, did you use Tamiya's R 34 parts for any things did you?? I love it.
After that, I'll have to buy that model Right Now

SEE YOU SOON

Excellent build. Can't wait to see more from you.

Fantastic work, and a great second build. You did a nice job on that one. A few coats of clear would have really finished the job, but don't let that discourage you - it looks great.

Man I need to get some work done on mine!
I like your interior better than mine.
I only thing I had trouble about fitment was the rear bumper.

Looks really good, especially for your second model.
I think we should expect to see some very good things from you.
