Calsonic Skyline GT-R R33 - 1/24

[Pete75]

 Finally finished one in 2020! Tamiya kit of a 1996 Japanese Touring Car Championship beast. Built pretty much stock & sprayed with Tamiya rattle cans. Nice kit to build. WIP thread here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/156325-calsonic-skyline-gt-r-r33-tamiya-124/

Thanks for looking ?

Nice clean work on the paint, details and decals Pete! ...Yes those Calsonic Skylines were ferocious! Would love to take one on the Nurburgring!?

Very nice build, looks nice and clean.  I really like that seatbelt set, definitely looks authentic.

Cheers Josh! I have a feeling I might find myself buried in a hedge if I tried driving one - would still want to, though!! ?

Pete, Bringin an old thread back, but i just saw a thing that you can think of for the next seat belts in the maiking. The sholder straps would connect to the back wall with an anchor bolt ( a ring that was secured through the sheat metal and a big washer or reinforcment on the back side in IRL) or to the cage at some point roughly at the same height as where they pas through the seat. thought i would give that feed back now wen thinking of it since such a minor detail ad some nice detail to a race car  I was browsing this old thread now since I got the same kit, love the JGTC of the '90's and a fan och best motoring and such.  I dont know if i will ad as nice belts to min as you did here though.. time will tell.

Very nice.
