OK.. Update.. There is bad news..
1. I tried to clean the car with a wet soft cloth.. Before that i used the hand held vacumn to clear the dust.. The paint seems to have faded.. There is no Gloss left in some parts.

2. The way the cars were kept.. The skylines spoiler broke..
I have tried to fix it with super glue but it does not work..

Any ideas?

Rudra just beautiful. It looks like a car parked in the showroom. Any other angles?

Thanks for the compliments

Do you have any pics of the damage.
You can make the paint glossy again with a dab of car polish like Turtle wax. Just apply a little bit and rub it off gently to give it a shine. Also the liquid polishes that are available can help you better.

Do not bring superglue near the painted cars. I have had a really bad incident with it. Ruined my Maisto Mercedes S500 for good. Show me a pic of the broken spoiler and lets try to help you with it.

Thats a cool model Salil. Where did you get this one from? I desperately need a Nissan GTR in my tiny collection. Does this come in the traditional Nissan blue.

Yep blackadder Autoart has made the same GTR in its traditional blue. Difficult to find. I found a white on in Modelart.

300 KMPH · 12th June 2007, 13:20

Oops, I forgot to mention that my blue Mustang GT is a 1:24 scale model...

@planet_rocker .... Thanks for the comments...

Thanks...

The model which I have is the Skyline Z-Tune which is the most powerful skyline ever sold... The AutoArt model of Z-Tune doesn't come in blue.

About blue skylines, AutoArt makes them of three different types...

1/18 NISSAN SKYLINE R34 GTR 1999

1/18 NISSAN SKYLINE R34 GTR V-SPEC II
http://autoartmodels.com/pages/searc...php?item=77331

1/18 NISSAN SKYLINE GT-R (R32) GROUP A 1993 CALSONIC SKYLINE #12 (TEAM IMPUL)(LIMITED EDITION 6000PCS WORLDWIDE
http://autoartmodels.com/pages/searc...php?item=89376

Assuming that u stay in Mumbai, ModelArt store in Inorbit Mall, Malad has this skyline for sale (not in blue though... but in gunmetal shade)
