Skyline Widebody (Tamiya)

[creep]

Here's my Widebody Skyline. It's the Calsonic body by Tamiya

[creep]

I don't know why the pictures comes up so crappy they open fine on other programs:mad: Here's another.

[Kden46]

That is sweet!!!:cool:

[creep]

Thanks. If it's sunny tomorrow I'm gonna try to get some better pics outside.

[creep]

I'll try another...

[microrcdude]

WOW!! i din't know that they had a skyline widebody!! nice work

[Baller Status]

That looks so good! R33 Headlights on R34 widebody(which looks essentially the same as the older one) But this one has a fresher look! Take some outdoor shots! What paint did you use?:cool: :cool:

[creep]

Yeah, I've always liked the looks of the R33 more than the R34's. It's painted with Pactra's Pearl White backed with Outlaw Black (both in rattle cans).

[creep]

Outdoor pic...

[creep]

Another...

[creep]

Finally got some sunlight today. Now you can really see the color ( hopefully ).

Thanks.
The body is actually the Calsonic Skyline from the JGTC racing series. I just made it look more like a street version. It's not really called a "widebody".

The rims are from the Raybrig NSX 2000 kit by Tamiya. I don't know if you can get them seperately.

[Baller Status]

Nice outdoor shots! I appreciate it. Where you lucky enough to buy those rims seperately or u have it from the kit? :cool:

[microrcdude]

Good pics! where'd you get it?

[creep]

I have the Raybrig kit (TBO1).

I ordered the body from Tower hobbies.

quick question.. how is that done?? what do you do.. mist the white on very lightly and then back is heavly w/ blk??

[robert L.]

where can i get those Raybrig NSX 2000 rims online?

[creep]

You put on a couple of light coats of pearl white, then back it with black. I put the black on heavy enough that I can't see light coming through. When using the pearl, try not to hold the body on the outside where you are painting the inside. When I did my first "test" body the heat from my hands made the pearl real thin. I could actually see where my fingers were.:p

I don't know where you can get those exact wheels but tower has another set of Tamiya wheels from the 2002 Raybrig NSX that look very similar. I dont think the have the recessed lip.

i think Kure Nismo GTR R33 also have wide body too. i didn't paint or take out yet.

[creep]

I tried getting the "Kure" about 2 years ago but they're discontinued. I've seen a couple on ebay for like $50 but that's too much for a body I would probably mess up:D

where r u located? make me an offer. i have few stored.

[creep]

I live in Ohio and $40 is about all I'd pay for a body. (I'm not much of a collector or anything like that.)

Please don't mind. in my opinion, i think it's worth $50 for a body. it's 1000x less than a real car. i tried to save that $50 before but finally my girlfriend spend that $50 for me. few months later, she went out with other man. so i would rather get a nice looking car body or hanging somewhere in my room. u know what i mean. and i always think that tamiya is worth to collect. it does good about value but it also has nice design and better looking than other make. :D ;)

ok. deal you. do u have paypal?

[creep]

Sorry but I won't be able to buy it, money's kind of tight right now:(

[HKjai]

ok. i deal you later. let me know when u r ready.

[GT Freak]

will that body fit a tlo1 :confused:

[creep]

The "Calsonic Skyline GT-R" will fit the TLO1 if you have straight body posts in the rear. The holes for the rear body posts are located right between the rear wheels. Hope that helps.

[ShayArnett]

Nice Skyline :D

I recently ordered a can of Pearl White and Outlaw Black, and got to thinking I didn't have anything to back the white with, so I searched google and came up with this thread, I had to register just to see how these colors could possibly look without reordering some backing, and I can't believe how nice the outside pic is, it's almost a gunmetal, anyway it will look sweet on my f360 :D

[edit] sorry to bring up an old post, i didn't think about it till after i posted please don't hurt me :(

[AceCoolie]

I'd love to pay $50 for a body. My 1/5th scale bodies are $300 :(.

[Yung_Wun15]
