1/18 AutoArt Nissan Skyline GT-R (R33) LM Limited

Say hello to the newest addition to the paddock, and my very last for awhile. Gotten through CitizenPatrick for a deal that would make Mike Brewer blush in Cockney, this is my third Nissan, behind my Bburago R35 I got back in 2009, and an R34 JGTC my dear friend (DSScats from Oppo) gave me for Christmas this past year. Here is C/N 1787 of this run of 2,000!

Now away from the Outside shots! Studio time I shared with a sake bottle I needed to shoot for a studio photography project. Also with this studio shoot, I experimented with a reduced setup, where I had the tube of backdrop paper over a folding table with an identical lighting setup. This meant I didn’t need to hassle with the utter pain in the butt setup job that is the light table.

Ugh just look at that profile. I prefer this generation to the 32 and 34, oddly. It has a certain “Japanese E36" aesthetic to it.

A peek of that RB26 engine, a transplant from the R32.

Space shared with my very first 1/400 Airbus A310-300 in the iconic Delta widget livery.
