Thanks for watching! I was told today that I put the exhaust tips on the wrong way around! Whoops!

It's shining brightly 😍😍

Excellent recovery and finish on this Thomas, it always makes it a bit of a slog when these problems arise, glad you pushed through to complete it and happy I could help with the decals

Thanks so much for your help, Mike. Finding replacement decals isn't something I've had to do much before but you were a real lifesaver!

Great tips, thanks for this video, this one is in my to do list, a couple kits are before

Thanks David. Eventually with the decals... 😅

looks really good! ive built most of the calsonic models and this was my first many years ago, and it was probably one of the more difficult ones.

Thanks a lot. Yeah, This was tougher than I thought it'd be. I'd really like one of the newer Calsonic GTRs or maybe a classic one

Looks cool

Very nice build and explanation. I have just built mine too. I was trying to understand how to use the extra aero parts. I understood one is the difuser but no luck with other spares. 😅

Thanks very much! If you look on scalemates.com at other versions of this car, you'll probably find the instructions which use those bits. It happened a lot when Tamiya would bring out new versions for new seasons.

Nice work , definitely a kit that needs extra work. Hopefully give it a go this year.

Great video mate!! I have the same mini drill as that, when i use dettol for stripping I always mix it 50/50 with water and it still works great.

Cheers, mate. Have you dropped all the drill bits on the floor like I did too? Good to know about the Dettol.

Beautiful buld, Thomas! I'm a big fan of the GTR in it's many iterations, and this livery is probably my favorite. I've built the 1999 R34 version, and plan to revisit it someday. Your tips in this video will be quite useful when I build this version in the future.

Thanks a lot, Gus! The R34 is probably my favourite as it was new when I was seriously getting into cars so I'd like to make that one myself too

I built it a long time ago, but if I remember correctly, the assembly is quite similar to this one. If I can find a set of new decals, I'll redo it, as it's a car that I really like and it's not up to my current build standards. I also really want to add the 2003 version to my ever growing stash.

I've got some older builds which I feel the same way. I know that Indycals do the Pennzoil decals but I'm not so sure about the Calsonic ones.

Hi thomas about the exhaust. I got my end pieces turned around. I thougt i was looking way better. And yes it is not a beginners kit. But you made it nice after the paint dissaster. And see the supra and the skyline next to eachother is bringing back the Gr Tourismo Ps 2 times:))) After all a very nice result at the end.

There definitely was a top coat as I polished this one. I may not have filmed it but I can't remember.

The engine in this kit leaves much to be desired 🥲

Yeah, I don't think any Tamiya touring car kits have full engines, or none that I've seen anyway.
