Nice models. I too unfortunately found HLJ a while ago and bought a shite load from them. Excellent service and quality items though.

Gotta finish my 1:12 240ZG before I start any of those though

Who makes the "aero special" DR30 kit? is it Fujimi or Aoshima?

I've got the Jenesis DR30 kit in mid build, and a KPGC10 with a transplanted L28 with webers in place of the S20 (really an L24 from a fujimi 240z), a C110 GT-X "bosozoku" style with massive camber, stretchwall tyres etc, and FIVE HR31 Skyline kits (one of them is the 4 door hardtop). Hopefully I can finish them all

Aoshima made these stretchwall tyres + deep dish old school wheel sets for a series of bosozoku style kits - not the "works" series HLJ have, something completely different that only aoshima hobbyworld japan stocked - they're insane! I've got SSR MK1s, Longchamp XR4s, and Yayoi Sakura...

same model as ^ I was trying different wheels

Well since we're adding pictures... here's my 240ZG WIP. It stopped several months ago cos I was up to painting the body and ran out of maroon paint. The toy shop stopped selling this brand so I put it on hold. Haven't really got back into it as haven't got the time + $10 per can doesn't excite me even if I could find somewhere that sells it. This model is the best model EVER, so detailed and mostly accurate. So I'm trying my best to paint it accurately too. If anyone is interested there's the same kit on ebay atm - no relation to seller.

^ Dashboard

^ Very difficult to do detailing here

^ My best attempt at "woodgrain" for the steering wheel. Looks nice but not as dark or as red as the real thing.

^ Completed engine + tranny !

^ All of the bits I've painted/assembled so far

^ Sad looking HS30-H in paint prep

I've got about 9 kits from hlj downstairs that I need to finish before I order any more.

Need to redo my stock DR30 because the black rub strips look crap, theres another 1 or 2 stock DR's, a Jenesis DR, a HR31 coupe, a hakosuka, a two door and a 4 door 240K race cars, a KE70 that is going to get some deeeeeeeeeep dish Watanabes that are supposed to be for Testarossas or something, S5 RX7, early Soarer (done the shell, sparkly apple green). I think thats it. Might redo my V8 S13 sometime too
