My second post of a kit build-up.

Kit: Aoshima VIP Tradition Y33 Nissan Cedric
Straight out of the box build-up. Body color will be Alclad II Prismatic Sapphire (Dark Blue to UV). Wheel choice is a set of 19" Koenig WRV's, but I'll probably change my mind somewhere down the road.

Good to see more VIP cars being done. :) Can't wait to see how it goes.

Very nice looking car, I like the Cedric VIPS.

WOW!!! I love that body style. Can't wait till this one is started. Keep us posted man, keep us posted.

Looks like its going to be VIP-tastic. Lol.

Didn't have as much time to work on things tonight as I wanted, but sprayed most the suspension pieces semi-gloss black. Brakes are done with Metallizer stainless steel. Calipers are still unpainted since I haven't decided if they'll just be black or some other color.

I'm not fond of chrome, so the chrome exhaust and tips had to go. Bathed them in CSC to get the chrome off. Then sprayed with Alclad black and then Alclad polished aluminum. I also don't like the dual round tips. The dual square from the Celsior look better in my eyes. I might swap it out with another VIP muffler down the road.

More progress. The chassis has been completed. Nothing fancy, just patches of semi-gloss black, flat black, and metallizers.

Now onto the interior. Meanwhile, the body has been assembled and primed. Pictured with Lowenhart LD-1 since they were lying around when I was taking pictures.
