One of the most uninspiring cars I've ever built, got it in a deal when I bought a lot of models and it was lying in the way, when lookin' at the simple curbside kit, my thoughts was that it should be easier to build it and then throw away the box, than to put the box somewhere.....

Box stock except for license plates, steering wheel and front seats, also, the tailpipe in the pictures now have fallen off and I admit it looks better without it....

Satisfied? No. Finished? Yes.

Yeah, it was a bit out of scale, appeared better in pictures than IRL, was planning to drill it out but after it fell off I skipped it altogether.

From the factory, this is one of the worst looking skylines ever made, however, with some personalization, they do look really good.

 

Yours has nice paint and is a good clean build.  It may make you feel better about it if you detailed the window trim and put some nicer wheels/tires on it.  Not all kits HAVE to be show stoppers to look great on the shelf.  Take my Chevelle for example.  It was an attrocious kit.   I painted the interior black to hide details on purpose, no engine or undercarriage, decent paint and wheels, some BMF to pick out some details and it's one of my best looking shelf models.
