Unusual Kits

[dougwintz]

I like to look for unusual models, like Fujima's Nissan Skyline GT-R KPGC10 race car. Unfortunately, it's a curbside. So i took the engine from the Tamiya skyline and transplanted it. Here's the result:

 

 

 

 

Then there is the Esci Ertl Ford Escort RS1800. It's a clear body kit. The tooling was not so great. But, I painted it white and acquired some Rothman livery decals. Interesting model...tough to build.

Awesome skyline! Now I know what it looks like built up. I like the engine transplant idea! And the escort looks very good as well.

It would be nice to have that Skyline in the garage, huh?

Great work on both builds.

i like them, esp the escort, which you don't see much of in model form.
