Has the late 70s style ones..I would prefer the newer ones found on the GSL SE but oh well. I am painting it yellow by the way and those stripes will never make it on the car sorry...

Hah, beer.com...nice

Looking good. 20 coats of paint plus 5 of clear though? Is that normal or are you just going crazy with the paint?

Yeah, sometimes it's better to learn your lesson and move on... That's kinda the category my Skyline falls into... The next one will be easier, and the next one after that...

You should not need that many coats of paint. If you get to many on you will start to loose the fine detail of the model and it well become to heavy looking in paint.
3-4 coats max is more then enough.
