Aoshima LB Works 1972 GC110 Skyline

[sandboarder]

So I had plans for the works flairs and another kit. So I mocked this one up of painting it olive drab with everything blackout out (grill, window trims, tail light panel etc) with the chrome hubcaps







But then I was looking at the flairs and the internet, back to the flairs and back on the internet. So I got the dremel out and I’m blaming this WIP thread on the internet!!! Will only WIP body n paint because everyone has the the rest with how these kits go together.


I cut a lot more away with the dremel after I took the mock up pics







Wheels are just for the mock up. I think the got the kit another 1mm lower as the tyre was sitting on the body. I’ll show how much I cut away in total later when its had body work. Next is to smooth n primer. Test fit tail lights. Custom exhaust dunno

Just doing prep work while the weather is crap. crossed I can paint the Hako Monday if weather allows.

You need to remove rear door handles and fill door gap and make it into a two.

Yeah buddie! you got a feel for these kits now, such good fun and so many options.

yes! thats it mate, got to maintain the 1mm clearance hi5

Custom exhaust

save that for the all out crazy build

I would but reckon 100% of what I’ve seen in Japan with works fenders/flair looks like this.

Notice the 110 on the doors is the Skyline model code. They do the same with 210’s as well. Pretty sweet touch I think



As soon as the flairs went on the colour combo went out the window. I can’t build it like the box art

My idea for paint may warrant some extra exhaust treatment but I’ll sort that out when I get there

Oh Ok did not know they built real cars like that, Cool in a odd way I guess. on it.

Yeah it’s not for everyone. I would personally start with a two door. It just make more sense but if I’m going to build a 4 door in their style, I can only copy what they do yes!

Not so sure about the pink one but your idea sounds good.

[Luke]

look forward to the next update.

Don’t worry this one won’t be pink n silver

look forward to the next update.

Small on as 1/2 the body work is done. Once finished it’s the normal primer, fit flairs, base coat and colour. There’s no turning back now tho.
