In Progress - Do-Luck Nissan Skyline

I finally got hold of the Scale Auto Style resin bodykit for this car, and have started modifying the Tamiya body to attach all of the resin parts. This body kit was well done by SAS, and everything has attached very well so far.

There is a resin hood that goes with this transit, but I can't remove the plastic hood until I glue the nose and side coves in. There would only be the A-pillar and a little piece at the bottom of the cove holding the front fenders on if the hood was removed now. There are also 2 pieces for the front fenders that will need attached. They weren't in the trans-kit when I received it, but they should be on their way to me now.

I saw this being built last night at a friends house and it is pretty damn cool! I love the side vents.

Re: In Progress - Do-Luck Nissan Skyline

Having seen this yesterday at a friend's modelpalooza I can say it's a very impressive model. The resin is superb, it's a very aggressive looking car. Can't wait to see this one finished.

OMG thread hijack!! Speaking of the palooza who's this ?

Don't ask him about the superglue incident

Re: In Progress - Do-Luck Nissan Skyline

Did you get this off of Chris's site or some where else?
Speaking of him, where is he lately?

Hahaha, no. But Matt should paint this pink, just like the basecoat of his other GT-R as I suggested last night at the palooza.

I'll just say this, CA doesnt taste good.

Re: In Progress - Do-Luck Nissan Skyline

Thanks guys.

bkvj - I'm not sure what color I'll paint this one yet.

LA Customs - The kit is the Tamiya R34 VSpec 2 kit. The resin parts are by Scale Auto Style.

Jaymes and D_LaMz - I ordered this off of SAS's site. The page on his site is a bit misleading and lists this kit with a 10% preorder discount. Apparently it's been available since November, the site just hasn't been updated.

Re: In Progress - Do-Luck Nissan Skyline

nice someone is finaly doing this kit. Looks like the resin parts fit perfectly. Seems weird how the side pieces are attached. What color are you planning?
