Something different.

Not a serious build, but a challenging journey to make the idea I had a reality.

I really like the hard top styling of the Nissan Skyline C210 and C211. To me they are like a mini Japanese version of some of the American Muscle hard top coupe's form the late 60's early 70's 

Aoshima's Skyline kits are a great canvas to do some customising and fun experimenting trying to build in different styles and thats what I did with this build.

 

Started with this kit.

And after some extensive body work and scratch building I ended up with this.

Like mentioned nothing serious, just a fun build all about the visual.
