TAMIYA Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R Hard Top

I really enjoyed this build.  Great kit, pretty goes together all by itself.  

Paint by Tamiya, Engine by Iceman, Tires/Wheels by Aoshima, mufflers by Resins by Reese. (Will install those once they arrive)

After so many paint issues, and such this girl is done!

Nice one Michael, good to see you got it finished.

Thats a lotta engine, good thing it has the meaty wides on the rear.

The Aoshima Enkei dish wheels were a wise selection for Hakosuka.

Well done.

Thank you Luke! 

I felt that car was made for a monster V-8, and of course the 6 it has is a beast, but I wanted something different. And when I set the engine in the bay and it sat with no major issues. It was a done deal.  

I appreciate it. Will do the update posts once I get the mufflers in my hand.

Man, that looks awesome. I’ve looked at this kit in the hobby shop but never purchased it. After seeing this, may have to change that situation. Nice work! 👍🏻

Thanks man!  I am starting to consider doing one of these with a big fat blower, slicks, tubbed and such.  Plus this kit pretty much builds itself. Tamiya did an amazing job with this.

Thank you Tom! I had a bit of work to get it to this point, including using the body out of my 2nd kit.

Killer build! You nailed this one. Absolutely awesome paint and stance. That engine is all business.
