I’m glad to call this one done. It turned out just as good, if not better than I anticipated. The kit is a Tamiya 1/24 Scale Nissan R35 GT-R. It is finished in Splash Paints Nissan Katsura Orange, and the lower panels are finished in Tamiya X10 Gunmetal.  It is all topped with Splash Paints 2k Clear Coat. The wheels used are Hobby Design Volk TE37’s with Hobby Design Valve Stems. They are painted using Dupli-Color Bronze wheel paint. 

I also used the Tamiya Photo Etch kit as it had better exhaust tips and mesh for all the bumper openings.  

The GT-R and Nissan emblems are Hobby Design as well.  They are much more detailed than the ones that come in the kit. 

All carbon fiber decals were self made using Tamiya Fine Weave Carbon Fiber Decals. The interior was sprayed in Tamiya Acrylic Semi Gloss Black as well as flocked with light grey flocking. All other parts were sprayed using a variety of Tamiya Acrylics. 

Thanks for looking. Now on to the next one!

Scott...saw this as a work in progress.  It really turned out brilliant. Very nice job. Your paint combo just jumps...good choice. Wheel color was a nice choice too.  I'd put this one in my collection any day of the week.

Scott,

I love it! The color is gorgeous. Of course I'm partial to it. I have a Monarch Orange 2018 Rogue and this reminds me of the color.

Very clean building and finish work. Simply stunning.

I already commented earlier on FB but it bares repeating, I’ve been following this build and you crushed it.  Unbelievably beautiful work!

It's an amazing finish, colour really pops out and the details like the CF make it look great!

Thanks man. The color is definitely my favorite on these cars. I wanted to add some cf, but didn’t want to over do it. The hood is often over done, but the roof is overlooked.

Very nice. I LUV your paint job. 

I saw a 1: 1 smoke a Hellcat on westbound I 90 around Marengo IL  About a  month ago.

Mike.

Thanks Mike. Yes, these are some bad suckers when done right. Proves that the hellcat isn’t as big and bad as everyone makes them out to be. I know they’re bad...but it got walked by a 6 cylinder lol.
