Yup, the Veilside Fortune RX-7 was used in the movie. :icon16: The bodykit alone costs over $10k.

Sweet, when i first saw that car from behind i couldn't tell what it was, until i saw the front headlights. Progress looks promising, keep us posted. Any engine pics yet? Also what kit is this tamiya, fujimi, or aoshima?

Thanks for comments so far lads.
MidMazar, I'm using the tamiya kit as a base. Engine's gonna be a little different, you'll see what I mean later on. :naughty:

Update time!
I'll let the pics do most of the talking.
I didn't like Tamiya's standard engine bay, so I made a new one. :-P Still more touching up to do on it. Much more accurate than standard one. Ummm, ye, here we go.
Oh, and the centre piece on the front bumper is only mocked on, needs more putty work before it's ready.

Right here.
It looks amazing so far. I'm dying to see it in paint; how much more work do you reckon has to be done?

Thanks mate. Not much more, but still a fair bit...lol. nah, all the major stuff's been done, still got the rear bumer, front bumper and the round bits and then just touching up.

Hey everyone! Little update..
REALLY SORRY FOR PICS!! They're awful but it's hard to capture how it loks in front of my eyes. :evil_lol: oh well. Added a scratch built radiator support and all the stuff surrounding it.

Great build. The 20B is a nice touch. I may have to scratch build one for on of my FD models.

Awesome! That engine looks good as well!
