I seen another modeler of the forum working on a kit from this Aoshima series. And it inspired me to dig out a long ago stalled build. 

The idea for the style of this build is a Datsun ute pulled from a wrecking yard and converted to a drift car with a supercharged power plant. Paint work same technique I used on a previous Skyline build
