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.

Oh that is superb work

You could make it again and hang it on the wall all parted out like your first picture
That would be cool
