Progress of R34 Skyline V-spec II

[Jonno]

Hey guys, I finally got my digital camera back so hopefully I will be able to post more pics more often, and show everybody here that I actually do make models!

Anyway this kit is a Tamiya R34 Skyline GT-R V-Spec II. I bought this kit around christmas time and I haven't been working on it very much. I need some more paint because I ran out of the white paint I was using, so I might treat the few coats on it now as a undercoat for some coats of a pearl white paint, but we will see what happens, shall we?

The wheels are out of the Tamiya Toyota GT-1 TS020 kit and seem to have a nice fit
None of the suspension is done, so the wheels are just sitting in the arches. The interior is a mix of light grey and darker grey, which isn't finished yet.

Anyway here are the pics:









Edit: I apologise for the big pictures, but they seemed right at the time for my resolution size. Just tell me if you want me to make them smaller.

Pearl white= my favorite Tamiya paint. Good luck and I hope it comes out nice.

Thanks for the comments!

Here is another picture of the wheels that are going to be on it.

Sorry about the quality but I am still learning how to use this camera

I finally have made some progress on this kit, and I decided to do something I haven't done on a kit before, cut off the doors (going to cut off the other soon) and hinge them. I used the "string" method to cut off the doors, so feel free to ask if you want to know more about the "string" method.



This picture shows some of the interior (I will take more when the interior is done) and it also shows the big gap I am going to need to fill with styrene for the door jambs



And although this picture isn't clear, it pretty much shows the intercooler .




I want to put a engine in it, but I don't have a clue where to get a skyline engine (I don't really like the idea of buying a R32 kit just for the engine) so if anybody can help me out by telling me where I could get an engine, I would greatly appreciate it.

Please feel free to critise, question or ask for more pictures
