This is a build that probably would have never been built if not for a n Instagram group build.  A friend posted he was going to join in on jdm group built so i went through my collection off kits.  I decided i wanted to build something that would be unlikely for someone else to build and 4 door skyline fit the description.  We had 30 days to complete our builds and we weren't supposed to do any scratch building but i kinda broke that rule.  I really didn't do a lot of scratch building but i did do some.   I built the front splitter for the outside and roll bar, diamond plate floor mats, shifter and knob and carbon fiber stereo block off  plate for the dash.   The wheels were not the intended wheels but I broke one so plan b was the  kit wheels with hobby design tires. The only other exterior mods are lowered ride height and hobby design gooseneck rear wing.   Other interior mods include a parts box steering wheel and hobby design bride seats.  All in all this was a fun build and I connected with some cool people.   We did two more after this unfortunately the creator of group build  Grant passed away suddenly last year.Screenshot_2017-10-19-23-19-51-1.png.f3bb3e205af84c2e734bd1dd630e71f0.png20170601_211135.thumb.jpg.7a6894c408f732c7922f858cdf4c3a97.jpg20170601_211209.thumb.jpg.9300c9a5e71f4f8dbf10108a9b3178d6.jpg20170528_221837.thumb.jpg.60d0b1a78924e06be773330285118f2b.jpg20170528_221850.thumb.jpg.5c083a09bc600483826fa53b98aeddcf.jpg

Very nice build! Excellent color choice; it really accents the body. Well done!

Beautiful looking paint finish and very clean body detailing. What color did you use on this?

Thank you espo the color is tamiya ts92 metallic orange over tamiya gray primer and a ton of ts13 clear.  I hand polish my paint unless I'm building a race car.
