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.

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

Thanks very much everyone, the comments are always lovely to read and spur me on to build more.

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!

Thanks for the info and I will keep an eye out for one! 

And yes, keep building!!
