Tips on building the R34 Skyline...
Now you all seem to have one!!!
A few things I have learnt in the building process.... Another one you have to pay attention to the suspension, it needs to sit just right! I lowered mine by filing the top of the hub section a little (See pic) This settled the front nicely. Don't glue the centre section of the grille to the body, as it paints better if left unglued, the paint won't then fill the gap! Between each coat, just lightly pull the bumper down and the front snaps away, leaving a nice crisp line! Once all is painted and polished, it can be glued in place. Use glue sparingly when attacthing the bumpers and side sills, ,try not to disturb the shut lines of the doors etc...

I only need to add 2 coats of lacquer to finish all painting! So what is it doing here in the UK today? Yep, Raining!!!  All other parts are ready! I need to urge you to do an aftermarket exhuast! They look great with a big 5" Nismo tail pipe out back! I'll show you pics of mine! I also used the brakes off the Volvo BTCC. You decided for sure on colour yet?

Q...How did you find the blue covered the white body. I was thinking of a silver undercoat first.

Never had to use a silver base, but it won't do any harm! A white primer would be good, make sure it is plastic primer though! Don't want you experiencing the same problem I did with my first R34!

You know, except for the TV screen, that looks remarkably like the R33 interior... Hmmm... :flash:

Some hints for the back!
Careful, it is easy to over darken the orange on the rear lights. Only use 2 coats max and try and keep them orange! A little too red on this pick! Also, the exhausts need darkening inside using semi gloss black, maybe matt black! The fog light should have a silver edging round it, the reverse light is right! See pick or real car!!!
