Got this one to do at work.

 

[CDW]

Now that's a nice car ..... are you doing it as the box art or are you going to put the "Huggins" flair on it

 

[Polux]

Wow! Will be looking this one, I always love the skyline when I was more younger

this is a nice kit, goes together in typical no drama tamiya fashion.....did one years ago, thoroughly enjoyed it

I've got one of these in my stash so will watch with interest

Ahhh back when Skylines were Skylines! Looks good, IIRC this is a "R34" model

I think i'll do the "HUGGINS" thing. :D :rolleyes:.

 

[John Huggins]

Made a start today, not happy only half an engine had a look on tinternet looks to fiddly to make it so may put a V8 in it with a bit of Nos, extent the wheel arches & big rubber bands on the back.

Ok made a start on the body, moved the defuser down a bit & addad one to the top. Added scoops to bonnet & filled in door handles & roof joints for the CAL look.

Just seen this one John. Nice to see you got the tools out on this one a great start

 

[John Huggins]

Had a thought, if i'm to put a V8 in this thing it would be a good idea to cut out the bonnet :eek: (o joy).

Just a quick preview on the paint job, as u can see i decided not to extend the wheel arch's as i could not find wheel's to fit.
