S15

Jay, or anyone, ever thought of taking a Fujimi S15 kit and turning it into a Varietta? I think I would like to do that some day.

Oh, and I've seen two very similar S15 kits (the cheaper ones) but there's still quite a price difference between them. Any idea why?

Edit: This (http://www.1999.co.jp/asp/GoodsDetails_e.asp?Bno=2135854&Typ1_c=102&Typ2_c=106&Typ3_c=439&SPage=1&SC=7&SN=Search+result+Search+for+%3A+s15&It_c=10024447&andor=0&scope=0&scope2=0&thumb=1&sortID=1&urikire=1&sort_sort=0&ItKey=s15&app_url=KeyReference_right_e.asp) is the more expensive one.

And this is what I'm talking about (Varietta)

That would make a great subject, its a great car! ive never seen them before - any more pics????

I've also thought of making the hardtop 'vert version of the Mitsubishi GTO/3000GT a la the 3000GT Spyder. :coolguy:

Well if you have a look at the item names of the links you posted, one of them is a Civic Spec R and the other is a Silvia V package.
So that may make a difference.

LOL... The only Civic I want is an S15 Civic Spec R! :lol2: ;)

but would that really have a drematic effect on the model itself? (are the body shapes different?)

I must say thats a great idea Ales....maybe you could start it as your next project !!!
