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!!

Thanks man! This was one of my first modified builds. I definitely would a whole lot of things differently if I were to do it over.

Great color!!

Thank you for those kind words. And you’re right…pink was fitting on cars of this era for sure…especially the ones that were as long as a city block.

? thanks man! The color is definitely fitting for it.

Thanks man!! This was a pretty decent kit to build

Thanks you sir!!

Thank you very much! Not bad for an iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Thank you very much for the kind words!!

Thank you!!

Thank you sir!!

Lol, thanks man. Pink it is. Had to have something a bit more modern on it lol

Thank you very much! I was afraid it’s too much pink, but I think it’s balanced out. Thanks for the kind words!!!

Thank you very much

Thank you very much! I like the wheels much better than the kit wheels for sure.

Thank you very much.

Sweet! Can’t wait to see your build someday.

Thanks man!!

Thank you! Next one is a 70 skyline in an orange/yellow

Thanks Steve! My wife had been wanting me to build her a pink Caddy, so this fit the bill lol

Thank you very much. Scalefinishes color and splash paints 2k clear never fail lol. Lol oh man bet it it was definitely like a tank lol.

Thank you very much sir. I bought them from a seller on eBay that I use often. They’re not a water slide, they’re just printed and you cut them out and glue them in place. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1959-CADILLAC-ELDORADO-GAUGE-FACES-for-1-25-scale-REVELL-MONOGRAM-kits-PLS-READ-/203490746607?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286 thanks man!!
