thanks for your comments

forhod, i could have used the other bumper supplied with the kit but it just fits over the original bumper it looked rather ugly


let me just say that this model must have been cursed, it was primed painted and sanded about 7 times! i had many air bubbles appear in the paint and it also cracked a few times. i was going to spray clear coat on top but i just decided to polish the paint instead.... overall i think it turned out ok

hey not bad at all. that first pictures of the sileighty fooled me. it looked like the real thing. as for the rims, you should leave it on cuz it wouldnt be the original impact blue. nice job man

Another Initial D fan. Nice build. Do you have other Initial D models built?

actually, the other bumper CAN be put on by itself...i have the Initial D S13 and i'm using the "other bumper" (the OEM Nissan Aero bumper). i'm going to use styrene to make a couple of mounting tabs on the side so it fits easier.

Awesome photo!!! Your model almost looked real for a sec. Good job, I love these cars and plan to buy a real one in a year or two.
