Nissan GT-R32 Race Cars - WIP

This time, I'm going to build three Hasegawa R32s at the same time.
It is expected to be a pure assembly with little modification. 

One of the three is a different vehicle and the red pattern is not included as a decal so it needs to be painted. 

One of the two Castrols will be made in Reebok livery. 

The 1st. step is always washed. 

I removed the part from the runner (Removed gate not yet). 

Since the kit is designed with variations kits, there are quite a few places where you have to drill holes or remove protrusions before working on it.
And I work on 3 kits at the same time, and it's better to do them all at once to reduce mistakes. 

It needs to be cut off. 

I think the instruction is to remove this part because it is a detail of a road car. 

I don't know why there is a long bar, but they are instructing me to remove it and make a large groove in the side skirt. 

The large indentation seems to be for the air jack. 

The washer fluid nozzle on the bonnet is also unnecessary.
I wasn't sure how to attach the part that attaches to the nose, so I searched without removing the marked part. 

It was a completely unnecessary gate, so I just had to remove it and attach it roughly. Like this... 

It says to drill a hole for the tow hook to go through. 

The back also needs a hole for the tow hook, which is not marked this time. 

Of the three kits, one requires a roof antenna, so I'll only need to drill holes in one. 

The trunk also needs a hole to attach the lip spoiler. 

Interior panels also require a myriad of holes to be drilled. 

The hole was for the roll cage. And I assembled roll cage. 

And when I saw the enormous color chart, I was speechless. 🙁 

Anyway, I did everything as instructed in the manual. 

The front was easy to work on, but the back was a bit tricky to work on because no tools could fit. 

I had to trim the edges of the rear window a bit, as the trunk sticks out more than the rear bumper when just installed. 

I had an unknown shrinkage on the left rear end so I fixed it. (The right side was fine) 

Fixed shrunk part. 

And fixed the shrinkage caused by the part connecting the bottom plate to the body shell. 

I painted it black (Ballejo Mecha Primer) to prevent light from penetrating.
