Nissan GT-R32 Race Cars - WIP

1
April 21, 2025
This time, I'm going to build three Hasegawa R32s at the same time.
It is expected to be a pure assembly with little modification.
2
April 21, 2025
One of the three is a different vehicle and the red pattern is not included as a decal so it needs to be painted.
3
April 21, 2025
One of the two Castrols will be made in Reebok livery.

April 21, 2025
The 1st. step is always washed.
5
April 23, 2025
I removed the part from the runner (Removed gate not yet).
6
April 23, 2025
Since the kit is designed with variations kits, there are quite a few places where you have to drill holes or remove protrusions before working on it.
And I work on 3 kits at the same time, and it's better to do them all at once to reduce mistakes.
7
April 23, 2025
It needs to be cut off.
8
April 23, 2025
I think the instruction is to remove this part because it is a detail of a road car.
9
April 23, 2025
I don't know why there is a long bar, but they are instructing me to remove it and make a large groove in the side skirt.
10
April 23, 2025
The large indentation seems to be for the air jack.
11
April 23, 2025
The washer fluid nozzle on the bonnet is also unnecessary.
I wasn't sure how to attach the part that attaches to the nose, so I searched without removing the marked part.
12
April 23, 2025
It was a completely unnecessary gate, so I just had to remove it and attach it roughly. Like this...
13
April 23, 2025
It says to drill a hole for the tow hook to go through.
14
April 23, 2025
The back also needs a hole for the tow hook, which is not marked this time.
15
April 23, 2025
Of the three kits, one requires a roof antenna, so I'll only need to drill holes in one.
16
April 23, 2025
The trunk also needs a hole to attach the lip spoiler.
17
April 23, 2025
Interior panels also require a myriad of holes to be drilled.
18
April 23, 2025
The hole was for the roll cage. And I assembled roll cage.
19
April 23, 2025
And when I saw the enormous color chart, I was speechless. 🙁
20
April 23, 2025
Anyway, I did everything as instructed in the manual.
21
April 23, 2025
The front was easy to work on, but the back was a bit tricky to work on because no tools could fit.
22
April 23, 2025
I had to trim the edges of the rear window a bit, as the trunk sticks out more than the rear bumper when just installed.
23
April 23, 2025
I had an unknown shrinkage on the left rear end so I fixed it. (The right side was fine)
24
April 24, 2025
Fixed shrunk part.
25
April 24, 2025
And fixed the shrinkage caused by the part connecting the bottom plate to the body shell.
26
April 24, 2025
I painted it black (Ballejo Mecha Primer) to prevent light from penetrating.
27
April 27, 2025
The antenna that comes standard is thin and has sharp edges, so it is of fairly good quality.
28
April 27, 2025
But before I knew it, I was engraving aluminum rods. 😉
29
April 27, 2025
Done.
30
April 28, 2025
Preparing to paint...
31
April 28, 2025
I had pre-assembled it, but it was too heavy and the tongs couldn't hold it. So I drilled a hole in the bottom and inserted a pin.
32
April 28, 2025
Since the paint has been peeling off a lot recently, I decided to use a primer this time. And when I filtered the water-based primer through a strainer, this is what came out.
33
April 28, 2025
I tried to pour more primer but it was clogged and wouldn't come out, so I opened the inner cap and there was this sludge in the spout.
34
April 28, 2025
Anyway, I applied the primer without any problems.
35
April 28, 2025
And I painted White Surfacer.
36
April 28, 2025
Then I painted Gloss White.
37
April 29, 2025
It wasn't intentional, but all three had the same wheels. So I had to do 12 masks. 🙂
38
April 29, 2025
It was unique in that it was designed to look concave without using a slide mold.
39
April 29, 2025
Thanks to that, it was possible to easily pierce the center even though it was a cylindrical shape with a slanted end. 🙂

oh that's really cool work you did with the aluminum rod, what did you use as a chisel?

@Matteo - What you see in the photo is a lathe blade.
At first I used a lathe blade, but I don't know if it's because the aluminum is so soft, but it doesn't cut sharp 🙁
So, unlike in the photo, I carved with a diamond file, cut with an art knife, and polished with sandpaper.
I would like to recommend Oilstone.
