1972 datsun skyline

[stitchdup]

Finished this up a few weeks ago. It's a aoshima datsun skyline with most of the chassis from a ut models opel calibra dtm racer. I had to chop off the front of the calibra chassis and replaced it with the front from a beretta pro street chassis after the calibra was too wide to fit the tyres inside the wings. The engine is from the calibra but I added a pair of hobby design turbos with scratch built pipework which all connects to the intercooler, and converted it to twin spark. The radiator is from my parts box. The turbos have individual oil coolers and are plumbed in. The interior is mostly stock apart from a pair of seats from a fujimi ferrari and a couple of mods to the door panels to fit it in, and is flocked to give a sorta singer porsche look to it. The wheels and tyres are hobby design 19" ssr's. I really need to go back and paint the badges and fuel fillers on the side but I don't want to make a mess of the paint.
