    *World Debut* NISMO GT-R ZTune

    I suppose this will be the UCP FAIL model.

    This is the Tamiya kit painted with TS17 Gloss Aluminum and cleared/polished.

    Interior is a mix of black and aircraft interior black with red trim.

    The kit is built box stock with the exception of 20" lower profile Aoshima tires, Tamiya Nismo decals and the fact that I built it curbside. I used my artistic license to paint the body so that it would be set apart from stock, hence the NISMO package.

    The kit is labor intensive, definitely not a quick build.

    Since Tamiya is cheesy and don't give us drilled rotors anymore(so we'll buy their PE set) I painted them as if they are carbon like Ferrari brakes.

    Fits in well with my NISMO collection.

    very nice, did you also buy the Aoshima kit? How does that compare to Tamiya?
    Does this one have the metal undertray?

    Thanks all!

    I actually had the Aoshima one on order until I saw how badly they proportioned the body. Fujimi's will release soon and their quality is up to Tamiya's now so it should be good.

    Tamiya only puts metal chassis in the JGTC version kits.

    This was a stock kit, I made it into a NISMO.

    Dino, you should use the album function to showcase your models.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    Don't forget the SLR or the 307 kits.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe those kits have the metal chassis.
