1/24 Tamiya Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 with TransKit

Post by MrBowcat »

Morning all,

A quick pre-amble to this build. My eldest daughter went off to university last year. She loves the Fast & Furious movies, so last year I built her Dom's Dodge Charger to take to uni with her. This year I decided to build Brian's Skyline from 2 Fast 2 Furious.

The base kit is Tamiya's GT-R R34, but to get the correct C-West body kit I have had to add a Zoom On transkit (at over double the cost of the base kit!). This consists of the front & rear spoilers, side skirts, wheels, rear wing, seat, etc, as well as the correct decals. The colour matched paint is from ProScale.

Awesome. Will it spray water vapour out the sides like Brian's? Blue neon lights?

No to water vapour, I would like to install underglow if I get time.

Morning all. :)

I made a start on this yesterday. All the kit parts were clipped and cleaned up ready for paint, along with some of the resin parts.

The body had the mold lines removed, and a quick test fit of the resin parts. These seem to fit OK, I think the side skirts may need a little massaging.
