Mr Bowcat's 1/24 Tamiya Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 with TransKit

[Mr Bowcat]

Afternoonall,

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-4 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 id from ProScale.

Sitting comfortably. Looks to be a great build especially with the aftermarket stuff.
