Hakosuka Skyline GTR
Legend Status.
The Hakosuka Skyline coupe is one of the most recognized and sought-after classic Japanese automotive designs and something I’ve wanted to capture in Lego form for some time now. The Hakosuka has had a massive influence on modern tuning culture and I wanted to reflect that by putting a little extra into this build. This particular example is a tasteful restomod with a modern update including an RB26 engine swap to keep things interesting and emissions compliant :)
Premium Detailing Mode was employed for the taillights, a signature element of the Hako. I started by designing a taillight insert for the rectangular trans red tile and then trimmed thin strips of chrome silver adhesive vinyl. I applied the strip along each side of the taillight lens to create a trim surround look.
This build is part of a Skyline double feature cooked up with Legomasino. Visit IG to check out both of our builds: Hakosuka Skyline GTR @pleaseyesplease and Kenmeri Skyline GTR @legomasino!
I hope you enjoy!
