    Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. Removed the bodies from the paint stands and done a mock up, definitely need a change of wheels and stance adjustment on both.

    Speaking of black paint jobs. Got a couple more bodies painted today.

    Nah, lacquer based Appreciate you dropping in and commenting Martin. Yes, I have many 210 and 211 Skylines in the kit stash, my favorite year/make/style. The colour and wheels are a definite hints. Thanks for the kind words about the black paint jobs, like anything it all takes practice. Which ive had alot of over the years applying TS-14 black.

    Great little kits, that are a lot of fun to build. Bandai's quality never disappoints, always an enjoyable experience building their kits.

    I use this. Thin it 1:1.5 with leveling thinner Apply @ 20psi with a .5 round cap But every now and then depending on the task I use these.

    Also started a Nissan Z and getting it ready for paint, The quality of the kit is very impressive.

    Applied a check coat of surfacer to Ken Mary Skyline and fitted some Aoshima MK1 wheels to see how they look.

    Almost a year later and I finally decided to paint the Chevelle. Good old faithful Tamiya TS-14 never lets me down. Slight bit of micro orange peel, but Tamiya compounds will easily sort that out.

    Another new build, got to make the most of the summer weather over this side of the pond. Planning to get a few bodies painted over the next month or so.

    And a new build im working on for a mate that I posted else where. Going to be painted my usual black red combo. Wheel centers and the bumpers will also be painted black.

    Update on a couple builds. Applied some paint to the 210 Skyline components. Finally applied the clear on the LBWK Lambo Huracan. Definitely will need a wet sand and polish.

    Building this for a good mate ive known for many years.

    Using a fan cap requires more psi. Iwata HP-TH fan cap requires a minimum of 30psi to atomize proper.

    Like the cross over of styles. And you still got those mad skillz coming up with unique builds. Well done.

    The 62 Bel-Air pictured, does not have a clear coat its just polished Tamiya TS-14 Black. When I do use clear this is what I use. Thinned 1:1.5 with Mr Color levelling thinner and shot through a Iwata HP-TH .5 fan cap at 35psi This is straight from the airbrush finish, has very fine orange peel that is easily wet sand and polished out. Below the right side just after wet sanding with 6000, 8000, 10000 God Hand Kami-Yasu sanding sponge. Also use 6000, 8000 Mr Laplos polishing cloth.

    Shaping up to be a cool little hot rod, Could almost call it a show rod as it has that styling to it

    Appreciate all the replies and comments.

    Looks like it going to be another excellent build showcasing your kit/part bashing ingenuity. Hope to see you complete the 65 Street Freak build first though.

    Another JDM build im currently working on that is inspired by a well known TV series car. Nothing serious and not concerned about scale accuracy, just a fun build that all about the visual. Again a modified 77 Nissan Skyline C210.
  22. Cool Hand
    Cheers mate. Dont know if I call it a pro street, inspiration is from Fast and Furious Dom's Charger and Aussie burnout cars. So I probably say its a JDM burnout car. 77 Nissan Skyline C210.
