Cool Hand Posted March 20 Posted March 20 (edited) Been awhile since ive completed a build. And like always my go to kits when trying to get back into building model cars are the Aoshima kits, I like them for the simplicity and ease of building. So I grab this kit out the stash and set about customising it to my favourite lowrider build style. Box art is just too cool with these kits. I shaved the door handles, scripts, fuel cap, front turn signals and wiper mounts. Fitted Pegasus #1311 DZ's wire wheels. I 3D printed and installed a chain steering wheel. Used optional part in the kit for the tail light panel set up. Aluminium tube for the exhaust tip. Modified the optional front grill by opening it up to install some photo etch mesh And like always paint is Tamiya TS-14 black, which was wet sanded and polished with the Tamiya compounds. And the interior is TS-49 bright red with flat clear over coat. Edited March 20 by Cool Hand 9
STU111 Posted March 20 Posted March 20 There’s nowhere to hide if your black paint is flawed. This is like glass. Awesome looking Skyline. I’m painting a 62 Impala in TS- 14 and if it turns out half as good as your Skyline, I’ll be happy. Top notch. 👍🏻 1
Zippi Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Another Great looking build there Luke. Your always on point with the Tamiya Black. Just a Bodacious looking build. 1
Stef Posted March 20 Posted March 20 NOOOOICE, Luke. This is a masterclass in Aoshima Grand Champion potential. Taking a great starter kit, cleaning it up, and enhancing it to perfection! Simply stellar. 1
happy grumpy Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Very nice execution. Flawless paint job. Beautiful take on a otherwise basic kit. Now stay away from them pesky speed bumps !😎👍 1
Mattilacken Posted March 21 Posted March 21 That one came out great Luke! And the paint looks flawless! 1
Koellefornia Kid Posted March 23 Posted March 23 This is one of my favourite japanese cars and the paint, wheels and stance are perfect for it! Nice work! 1
XYHARRY Posted March 30 Posted March 30 I like how this build looks, super clean and low. Really well done Luke.
