After quite a while of working on this one, I've finally finished it. This is the Tamiya V-Spec II Skyline kit, with Scale Auto Style Do-Luck resin body kit and wing.
The resin transkit attached with no drama, cutting the front fenders open to make the vent was tricky. The finished result is very nice though.
I painted this with Cobra Colors Daytona Blue Metallic. A 350Z factory color. The interior is royal and light blue.
The wing was covered in CF, cleared and polished out. I used the Nismo wheels that came in the kit. They were sprayed aluminum and clearcoated.
Here's some pics:
