This next reader-submitted die cast car is something I think you guys will get a real kick out of.
Daniel from Germany wasn't quite satisfied with the looks of his 1/18 scale Kyosho Kenmeri Skyline GT-R, so he got to work.
First up were the oil cooler and front spoiler you see above.
Then he threw on some wide, old school wheels. Very Work Equip-esque.
Next, he fabbed up a proper exhaust system using a couple stainless steel tubes.
A bit of weathering gave it that raw, unrestored look – like something you'd find sitting in a field somewhere in Japan.
It's pretty amazing what you can do with a die cast model, a little creativity, and an eye for the details.
Awesome work, Daniel!

Thats so sick, last pic could almost pass for a real car!
Pretty cool!
Looks great - the only missing detail is folding the number plate up on the back to make it harder to see
Damn, I thought that's a real GT-R! Truly just tiny details can make a lot of difference.
Sooo good.
thats awesome haha
That is hands down one of the sickest die cast cars I've ever seen! So dam awesome!
insane
Thats just mad skill right there.
haha that's really cool
haha that's cool
I can hear the horns and the motors !!
Looks like a real car shot with tilt/shift
Such a cool little car too!
the only thing that gives it away is the size of the raindrops!
Amazing rust patches
I can't be the only one getting these "Server is too busy" pages all over the site ? ....
Cool and nice to see you car on Speedhunters.
AAAAArrrgh!!!
i love the kyosho kenmeri as it is from the box. but this one tops it of!! Kyosho, please make something like this out of the box!!!! XD
i love the wheels! but im not a big fan of them extended pipes :/
it looks very realistic!
That's the coolest "toy" car I've ever seen! First off, where do you find old school die-cast (or plastic) J-tin? Also, do they sell scale old school rims?
That. Is. Awesome!
Very nice! With the "rusty look" it looks almost real!
Want to share more about it? Pls send me a message on bosozokustyle.com!
