Complete: Silvia Autech Version K's MF-T

Interior is almost done.
Exterior needs some polishing. The color is Finisher's pearl over Mr. Hobby Mr. Color Gloss White. The camera can't catch the pearl effect well. It is very nice in person.
Don't know about the wheels yet. Maybe these Supreme Auto Couture? The wheels that came in the kit look too small for a Silvia.

Awesome, i built that kit. I did custom body work on mine though. Its the one on the signature. Good kit but too many mold lines and you have to shave those emblems on the back fender. I like the original rims it came with, very drifty, those are nice also. Can't wait to see more.

Nice work, and a silvia is nice even out of box. I also built that kit, but stock, only rims and lowered suspension, I used a veilside ones, dunno the name, but it look really well on the silvia, and it was painted in metallic violet and with CF hood, its nice, I'll buy another one some day to do a nice bodywork like I did on the skyline. Btw... a friend of mine is gonna buy this car, a k's with 200bhp, I cannot wait to drift it!!! or.. well, at least start learning how to drift an FR

Nice project. I would definitely keep those rims, unless you're able to get some better rims than this ones

RB26DETT-GTR. I only noticed those those emblems after you mentioned it. Too late now.

Wing or no wing? I think it looks overdone on this one. I'll probably remove the lower part of the wing to make it shorter. What do you think?

Re: Progress: Silvia Autech Version K's MF-T

i think the big wing sweets well with the big wheels, but a little shorter might be better....

The rims are nice, but IMO the wing is huge.

Re: Progress: Silvia Autech Version K's MF-T

Yes mold lines abound on this kit, but the shape of the body is good. I'd like to see some tuner additions added to it but the wing IMO looks too big being raised like that. good job so far

In the pics it seems, but I also like I've said have this model, and it doessnt look so big, its due to the pics, and its the wing that comes with the model.
