Top Secret R34 Skyline GT-R

[91p10nizmo]

Hi
Heres a few pics of my skyline (yes i know another one ) i finished a couple of weeks ago, my first model in over a year. Quite a nice model to build. It was also my first time at trying to carbon the boot and the complex hood i think it came out all right.











Hope you like. Any comments welcome.
Thanks

Nice job, is this the aoshima one? If so was there any fitment probs?

One thing you can do when your putting cf decals on a kit that has a non removable hood is use a gundam marker or other marker and paint the panel lines black. So that way you won't really see the seperation line of the cf and bodyparts. For instance like on the trunk of your car.

Nice build, looks awesome in the Top Secret livery.
one quick tip for your next skyline build, behind the glass of the front lights is suppose to be a very dark metallic grey or semi gloss black looks accurate aswell.
except for the chrome buckets & the silver curved "edge"

Only a couple of little ones, the bumpers have abit of a gap but a bit of sanding and they fit all good, and prob the biggest fitment problem is the headlight lens, but can be fixed with a little triming and sanding so nothing really major.

Cool thanks for that, i didnt even notice till you said.

Yeah i reliased that after i had glued the lens on, i did paint the black bits on the actual crome bits of the light but forgot the rest.
