Tamiya's 1/24th Nissan Skyline - Builder's Notes

Welcome back to the channel! In today's video, we're diving into the exciting build of the 1:24 scale Nissan Skyline model by Tamiya. Although I don't typically focus on automotive models, this kit provided a fantastic experience. The plastic quality is excellent with minimal troublesome mold lines, making assembly smooth and enjoyable.

I'll guide you through each step, from identifying and removing mold lines, to incorporating aftermarket parts like 3D printed decals from Quinta Studios. You'll see how I tackled challenges like flocking the interior and mixing the perfect paint blend, all while sharing tips and tricks to enhance your model building skills.

Throughout the build, I'll share insights on using various tools and materials, such as a hobby knife for mold lines and a polishing wheel for a flawless finish. We'll also explore the application of intricate 3D decals and discuss the benefits of using different types of glue for precision and ease.
