Shelby 427 1965 Posted August 30, 2016 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
Foxer Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I really like the look of that ... subtle touches that make it stand out!
Daddyfink Posted August 30, 2016 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
bbowser Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Don't sweat it Tomo, it's a hobby! If they all come out that nice you're doing well.
Shelby 427 1965 Posted August 31, 2016 Author 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!
lghtngyello03 Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Awesome build! I've been wanting to build one of these.
