Thank you Rich! I try to give as detailed of a description as possible. I know it’s frustrating if someone else is looking to build the same kit as well, and can’t find any info for their build. Thank you. This kit has been out for about a year or more now. Thank you man! I am using the Foldio 3 with the optional Halo bars for lighting. It’s all adjustable on brightness…very nice booth for what I want to do. here is a link https://us.orangemonkie.com/product/foldio3/

Thanks man!!!

Thank you! Thanks man!! I usually use ScaleFinishes myself. And still have a lot left from previous sales he put on, but I’ve only been using Splash 2k for the last couple of years. You definitely will be pleased with whatever you may try.

Thank you very much. Very happy with the outcome of this build!

Thanks man. I really love how the 2k lays down on the last coat when thinned even more. Gives it that smooth finish

Thank you very much sir!

Thank you sir! Haha, thanks a lot man. Each build I try to learn and incorporate more.

Thank you very much. Thanks man! You definitely should give them a try. I’ve tried a lot of 2k clear and Splash is the best I have used to date. I’ve been using it for a couple of years now…and it goes well over any brand of paint I’ve sprayed it on.

Thank you sir!

Thank you!!!

Again, I haven’t posted the work in progress pictures on here as I’ve been posting it all on Instagram. Splash Paints contacted me a while back, and sent me this Tamiya Mustang GT4, some of their Ford Ruby Red, and their 2k clear to showcase their product. This build turned out so amazing. Splash Paints really knocked it out of the park with the Ford Ruby Red/2k combo. If anyone is on the fence about using Splash Paints, give them a try. Super simple to use, shake, load up the airbrush, and spray. The kit is built essentially stock, minus a lot of carbon from Scale Motorsports, wiring, and hoses added. The body was prepped and primed in Splash Paints Dark Grey Surface Primer, then the Ford Ruby Red was laid down. This paint laid down smoothly and glossy (even without clear). Kit livery decals were then added, with an addition of a carbon fiber roof, carbon side skirts, carbon hood vents, a carbon rear filler panel, and carbon front lip/undertrays from Scale Motorsports. The interior/chassis is painted in Splash Paints Essential Series Pure White and covered with a coat of Semi Gloss Tamiya Clear, then weathered for a race worn look. The interior also has all panels done in carbon fiber, just as the 1:1 has, using Scale Motorsports carbon decals. It was then fully wired for extra details. The harness used is an Eduard Photo-etch harness. The wheels are finished in Splash Paints Gunmetal Metalizer. The tires have been sanded down for a worn look, then Power Slide tire decals were used, and weathered as well. I will definitely be adding another one or two of these to the stash and building another livery and a street car! On to the next build. Thanks for looking!

I need to renew my subscription…anybody know where I could do so online?

Looking good man!

Thank you very much. Definitely one of my favorite builds!

Thank you very much!!!

Thank you very much. Not only does it fit the part well to make it look like the rubber on this build, it helps hide the edges of the BMF as well. I did it on my Caddy build as well.

Thanks so much man!! I love any old Nissan, Toyota, Mazda, or Mitsubishi. This car was calling me to build it lol

Thank you very much! Thanks man! I think this is my favorite engine bay and interior on any build yet. It’s a shame the interior had to be covered up.

Thank you very much. This kit was great to build.

Thank you man! The real cars have a black rubber trim on them with like a chrome plating or actual chrome. This was the only acceptable thing to do to look accurate. I am pleased with the results . Thank you! Thank you very much. The extra work was well worth it in the end. Thanks Chris! Thank you! Definitely Worth it to buy. I’m definitely going to be picking up another one for future builds with a big single turbo rb26 resin engine kit.

Thank you!!

Thank you very much sir! Thanks Rich!! Thanks man!! Thank you!! Thanks buddy!!

Thank you sir! I knew I forgot to put something in the detail list…lol always do. It is bare metal foil followed up woth Tamiya Panel line accent.

I didn’t post any WIP pics here due to trying to keep up with it on Instagram and Facebook , but I am still always going to share completed pics here. After a month and half, I was finally able to finish up the Hakosuka GTR. What an amazing kit, it went together with no issues and fitment was great! I definitely see myself building another one of these in the future..possibly with an RB26. The kit is a Tamiya Nissan Skyline 2000 GTR Street Custom 1/24. Body color is Melon Yellow by ScaleFinishes topped with Splash Paints 2k Clear Coat. I polished it out using a dremel and automotive polishes wish some foam polishing pads. Interior has an Eduard photo etch harness for the drivers side, and self made ribbon belts with Modelcar Garage photo etch buckles for all the rest. The floor mats are from wolfster74 on eBay and the magazines/comics are from cmgh_garage on Instagram. I opted to make this car have the optional carpet kit, so I used black embossing powder for the carpet. The helmet and gloves are from the kit. The engine bay was fully wired and plumbed, as well as added brake lines. The catch can was self made using square styrene tubing, some styrene sheet, and Detail Master steel braided hoses/AN fittings. The wired distributor and coil are from Gofer Racing. Wheels are also from the kit, and are finished in Splash Paints Gunmetal Metalizer. They also have RB Motion Valve Stems. Now time to get back to the next project!!

Oh man…back from the dead! Lol. Thanks for the compliments!! Thank you very much!! Thanks man!!
