Tamiya Nissan Skyline R34 Nismo Z-Tune

[lghtngyello03]

Finished up this one a while back, just wanted to share some pics over on this forum since I'm new.

The kit is a Tamiya 1/24 scale, Nissan Skyline R34 Nismo Z-Tune.

Built pretty much box stock, with the exception of using the Tamiya Detail up photo etch set, adding more details with some carbon decals on the floor pans/rockers/driveshafts like the 1:1 car, adding some braided cooler lines for the trans/diff cooler, and flocking the rear package tray.

The paint is Gravity Colors Z-Tune Silver topped in Gravity Colors 2k clear.

Thanks for looking!

Stunning. Fantastic finish and in a colour that's not run of the mill.
I love Skylines as well, so extra points there too.

Thank you! I wanted to build this as close to 1 of the 20 built.....with 19 being silver cars built, and the 1 exception of the 1 and only Midnight Purple car.

Nice! I really like the carbon and the heat staining on the exhaust

Thank you very much. I try to better my skills each build.

Thank you! This was my first time doing this method for heat staining, and I was very pleased with the results and will use it from now on.

How did you do the heat staining? Asking for a friend

Lol, everything pictured is what I used. In order from left to right, left being first and right being last, and then the weathering powder very last
