Progress: 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. :nono:

Those wheels look good!!

i agree go with those wheels

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 :evillol: 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 :p

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

:iagree: looks good so far

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

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?
:feedback:

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.

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 :)

Nice color.
But..what's the size of the rims?? 19" ??

but IMO the wing is huge

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.

SWEET !

Later, Mike :sunglasse

Looking good, keep us posted on the progress!!

Nice color.
But..what's the size of the rims?? 19" ??


Yea they seem like 19's. The ones that the kit comes with are supposedly 17's though they look wayy smaller.

Sorry, no progress yet. Too busy during weekdays.
The wheels are 19 inches. The kit comes with 17 inches.
Mold lines are fine compared to the Audi 90 I am working on now. I had to use putty to smooth out some areas.:eek:

Just wanted to finish it, so no modifications except lowering the front suspension.
The wheels are Nismo LM GT-2 18 inches.
The Supreme Auto Couture posted before will go to a VIP model.
The headlights look really bad. :headshake Can someone help me out? :1zhelp:

those wheels fit it better, imo
but what's wrong with the headlights?

Looks good, did you put too much glue on the headlights?

I looks plain, boring ... I don't know... :confused:

Do panel lines around the headlights to simulate the gaskets. Bare metal foil behind the lenses works wonders for realism.:)

i would cut off the pin and fill the hole so that the black point disappears

Thanks for the inputs. I will try them out. :)
