Nissan r 390 GT Tamiya

[happy grumpy]

Not my usual subject but it looks cool, at least to me. Being a Tamiya kit, it almost builds itself. There are some delicate parts but they fit really well and the instructions are pretty clear. Tamiya lacquer black and pure red. A lot of decals but easy to put on. I happy how it turned out. Not my usual cup of tea but a nice kit to build.

Very nice, A clean build with great detailing..

Georgius Nissan!  Really well done.  I see a Tamiya logo on the rear quarter panel.  Did Tamiya actually sponsor the car?

Very nice build, Mario -might not be your usual cup of tea, but shows (as usual) excellent execution in every aspect.

[Yeah Nah]

Not usually my cup of tea either Mario, but you've done a sweet job on this.

That's a beauty!  Nice job on the paint and decaling.

Mario...this looks great.  I know for a fact that those decals  were not a walk in the park. The paint and especially the engine weathering are also top notch. Never hurts to step out of your comfort zone...you did well.

Beautiful build Mario. The black and red livery really pops. I love the various metal tones and finishes you applied to the engine side.

Bravo!

Thanks James. Tamiya is quite big , I would not be surprised if they did.

Merci Pierre. I have been experimenting different metallic paint and the AK extreme metal is a good substitute for testors metallizer ( my all time favorite metallic paint).

great job, no need for aftermarket with these kits. Was my first Tamiya sports car kit, was great then and now. almost feel like building it again, very nice, not to pick I guess you noticed the Nissan decals are upsidedown on the valve covers

Very attractive model. Kinda makes me want to do a "de-tuned" streeterized version.
