Skyline 2014
-
- Here is the Skyline in the box. The red plastic is the free Gemma Scooter. Like all Tamiya cars, it is beautifully packed, a far cry from MPC’s “throw it all in a bag and hope” approach!
-
- Here’s the inerior and chassis, all set for assembly. Not the lack of engine and simplicity of the interior ‘bucket. I haven’t yet put the sides on it.
-
- A closer view of the dashboard and front seats. Note the lack of “carpet” and the fact that the seats bolt right to the floor, vs. a real ‘bucket’ as on American kits.
-
- The 1981 4-Door Skyline is NOT what most people are thinking of when they hear “Skyline”!
-
- The high gloss achieved by using lots of Future can be clearly seen on the hood.
-
- The boxy styling of the 2000RS four-door is clearly evident from this shot. Those corners are so sharp, you swear you’d cut yourself!
-
- The trademark four round tailights were found on Skylines even back in the early 1980’s! This kit makes it obvious how clunky the entire tail light assmbly actually is; it looks like a tacked on afterthought.
