1971 Nissan Skyline GT-R

Here's another of the builds I did for the Tampa show. With two weeks until contest time I was without anything new to bring. So this was actually the first thing I pulled from the pile. I had already completed the interior (adding flocking) and chassis, just had to paint up and detail the body. So I did! Smile

Color is Tamiya Italian Red over a gray primer. Only other details added were Bare Metal Foil and detail painting. I also used BMF under all "lights" (head and tail lights, signal lights, etc.). I also lowered the ride height just a bit all around.

And after thrashing on it to get it done for the show, I was quite surprised when it came home with a 3rd place award in the "Foriegn" class:

Super clean, as always, Dave. Congrats on the plaque. A little Davefire might have gotten 2nd. Just kidding. It looks awesome as is.
