Shelby 427 1965 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) And now with me going to Uni in September, posts will be even less frequent... I'm taking my model stuff with me but I don't expect to have much time. So, this is my most recent build. Aoshima's 1973 Skyline GT-R (you all know me for Skylines..) and it's a fantastic kit. Modifications: - Racing seat for driver (Japanese style, they tend to only put a racing seat on the driver's side) - Seatbelts and buckles- Side exit exhaust - Custom front licence plate- Rear mounted battery and wired in - Cigarette Packet in centre console- Lowered slightly The rear badge has come loose at the edge and it's really annoying. Thanks for looking, all comments appreciated Edited August 30, 2016 by Shelby 427 1965 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddyfink Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Nice! I like the Kenmeri body style! A friend of mine has one and I someday would like to make a model of it! Who's kit did you use? Here is the Kenmeri at the Long Beach Japanese Classic Car Show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby 427 1965 Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Thanks very much everyone, the comments are always lovely to read and spur me on to build more.Nice! I like the Kenmeri body style! A friend of mine has one and I someday would like to make a model of it! Who's kit did you use? This is Aoshima's GT-R kit, it comes with lots of different bits and pieces such as different grilles and things to do different styles. If you want to replicate that one I would recommend looking at their Kenmeri 'Works' kit range, they come with those big flares and headlight covers!
