Kodiopa Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Among Japanese vehicles, R34 is one of my favorite car as much as the old NSX. This car is very cool and powerful, just like its nickname 'Godzilla'. This blue Calsonic GT-R participated in JGTC in 2003 It was popular for its refreshing and charismatic color. The assembly of this Tamiya kit was perfect, so I only cared about painting. The interior is also well reproduced in every visible part. It is described that the part made of carbon in the actual vehicle is painted with a semi-gross black, so I applied carbon decal. I removed the bonnet pin molded on the body and used the photo-etched parts of hobbydesign. I hope you like it. Full build video is here. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toftdale Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Another surgically clean build, I doubt the real car had a paint job a flawless as yours! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an accurate point..! I don't think the actual car will have this gloss. For racecars, gloss is not important. It would be much less than this dramatic glow. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeroenS Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Another flawless build. I like the first few pics a lot, with the "exploded" view, that is really nice. It really shows your skills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
