Tamiya Nissan GT-R R32 Custom Time Attack build
My first Time Attack inspired build!
I used Tamiya’s R32 GTR as the base, styrene sheets for the splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser and wing. 3D printed TE37 18” with tires from Tamiya’s Evolution WRC, 3D printed Bride seat, 3D printed brakes, 3D printed Ganador mirrors ( still have to adjust! ). Roll cage made with Tamiya sprue, rear seat delete made with styrene sheet, exhaust made from a juice straw. Carbon decal is from Hobby Mio for a 1/32 scale (I find this more realistic) and FMIC also from Tamiya’s Evolution WRC.

I've read about carbon fibre decals. Are they different than any other decals? If yes, what are the differences? How do I apply them? To be more specific: my only model until now is the BMW i8 from Revell, but I want to build the Pagani Huayra from Aoshima next, which has carbon fibre decals (if I understood right)

Not really happy with this one. Clear parts get the worst out of me and make me really desperate, rushing everything in the end, so next kit I’m doing clear parts first to not freak out.
Basecoat is a mix between Tamiya X-27, Mr Hobby H39 and X-12 in an attempt to do Midnight Purple (but with gold flakes). Can’t tell ratios because I did it by eye feeling, but something like 10:7:0.5 (H39, X-27, X-12). Last pics you can get the color better

Recently finished this! Has a few 3d printed parts and the wheels have been magnetised so can switch them about.
