I just finished my latest project. It is a S15 200SX drft Car. It is built from a Fujimi Mines kit. Found the kit for a good price and bought it. I opened the kit up and found it was well moulded. The only thing I don't like about it that it doesn't have an engine.

I painted it a purple/blue colour becuse I bought the little paint thing and the lid was the S15 blue that a lot came in. I got it open and it was pretty much purple. I didn't want puple so I mixed in some Tamiya Sky Blue that I had llying around and got this colour. I painted the wheels black and the caps and nuts blue. I made the exhuast angle down like I have seen on some real S15's and cambered the front and back wheels for the real drift look.

Sorry about not having any interior pictures, I finished the model and thought about the pictures later.

***Sorry about the pictures before the text, I am only technicaly new to this forum***

What's wrong with my model???

Nothing at all! I'm just signing on to the forums now, and I'm sure a lot of others are as well. Sometimes the forum can be periodically slow.

No Mine's decals? I think for the most part many of the Mine's cars are quite simplistic looking (i.e. look almost stock). The real meat is in the engine tuning, suspension, and brakes. :iceslolan

I know there isn't any mines logo's on it but I like my drift cars to look like their cheap and simple and if smashed into a wall - not hard to fix and repaint if it was a real car.

Also, acrilyic paint, no clear - big problem!!!

If you want more responses than you have to draw the people in with better/bigger pictures. One thing you might want to try is use a black sharpie/gundam on the tail and headlights. Before installing them on the model, go around the lense to create a trim. Good luck.

Nice colour choice. I like the blue/black rims. The chassis detail looks good also, is it possible to see bigger pics?

Thanks for the tip. The next model I finish I will use this idea!!!
