Complete* NISMO R33 GT-R LM Road Car

This is Tamiya's Clarion R33 LM kit converted to the one-off road car.

I built it close to the real car but made changes to the rims, wing and seats.

Great Job Man!
I didn't checked if it matches the real one but I don't care, superb work, well finished.
I used to assembly aircraft's models, not always with the best result, but it was a hell of a work. this is really good.

Very nice. Where do you display all the rest of your custom models? Can you take a couple pictures of them together?

That was the same question I was going to ask.


It seems that you have a lot of those model cars.
Take a picture of all of them.
Looking good!

how do you manage to keep them out of dust?

I was looking for some kind of window months ago, but I didn't find the right thing, they were too small, too dark or with too large point of entrants for the dust. those reasons, and the fact my collection is pretty big and still enlarging it. fortunately, I'm only into 1:43 models so they are smaller this for example.

I keep them all in dust-free cases like this(link). I buy mostly 1/24 scale cases because that is my main building scale..then if I want to display up to 3 cars together I'll get a 1/18 scale case.
