Nissan Skyline GT-R Group Build
Some of my rear window rubber was missing! Puttied it up best as I could.
Primed in Mr Surfacer 1200 Gre.
Not looking the best. I'll work on it more and go again.
Engine installed.
The suspension is SMS Blue/Green Flip over a white base with Tamiya clear blue over the top. The springs are Molotow marker.
Bit of patch work done on the back of the seats using Tamiya putty.
SMS Dark Bronze over black base and topped with SMS Super Clear. The nuts are done with SMS Gold Marker.
Dashboard coming along nicely.
Found some decals from another kit so thought I'd add them to the engine.
Interior done and mounted to the chassis.
Flocking is done with embossing powder.
Decided to go with Grey seatbelts for this one.
The instructions called for XF-63 German Grey and XF-54 Dark Sea Grey, but I decided to go with black and Neutral Grey (XF-53) as it what I had on hand. I like how it came out.
Body painted in SMS Jet Black and then wet sanded
Ready for the top coat!
SMS Blackcurrant Pearl!
Right out of the box like this... ugh
Body after a few coats of 2k, all 3 Tamiya polishing compounds and some car wax.
Headlight inserts painted with a silver sharpie.
Windows marked and hanf painted with Mr Surfacer Black.
Long story short... the original bonnet was cracked while trying to sand the line away. Bought a replacement and it had the same thing. Used 4000 grit sanding pad and the three Tamiya compounds and it came up good.
Wipers, mirrors and plates attached
Lights installed. Indicators were painted with an orange marker
Rear lights were painted with a red marker.
Completed!
Stealing the clear bonnet for my other Skyline build, so this one is going on this build now.
Forgot the progress shots, but this is the finished bonnet with SMS Blackcurrant over SMS Jet Black. Thr clear coat on the underside is SMS Super Clear.
Same process here, but finished with 2k and then wet sanded 3600 to 8000 and hit with all three Tamiya polishing compounds and car wax.
Finished with the new bonnet
Hanging with his twin.

Grey actually. Will be followed by a black base before hitting it with the SMS Blackcurrant.

I think Peter meant that you haven't shown any pictures of your build of these kits yet.

Thanks guys! Really enjoying this one. Hopefully I can do the exterior justice. Waiting for the black base to dry at the moment.
