New arrivals today!
From a trade with VTEC-DA9 - highly recommended BTW, check classifieds thread for his remaining kits for sale.

You can never have too many GTR's The main one for me though is the Garage Mak Silvia - nice kit, the resin parts are nicely molded, the sides actually fit better than some of fujimi's plastic add-ons. The front's fit is good but the rear will require some work as there seems to be a fair amount of shrinkage with the resin.

So that's why he couldn't sell it to me! I'm just glad to know it went to a good home!

Chris,

You got the sides off, how? Cool, hope you enjoy the building the Silvia and the other ones. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for the new goodies to add to my own To Do list. Good luck with the Silvia, I noticed the same fitment issues you described and didn't know how to tackle it.

One had already fallen off, the other came off with little effort. Superglue isn't always that super, it just bonds the surface together and if those surfaces aren't preped correctly the adhesion won't be so good.

You are luck with the quality of the Garage Mak car... I'm doing the Garage Defend version at the moment and the quality of the resin is very poor. Had to cut the skirts in to bits and stretch them by abou 5mm in total to get them to fit, and they had 'banana'ed' when they were cast. Looks like yours is much better...

Yes, I very much would, I meant just the bumpers. would they work on the stock s15, such as the one you(tonio) sent me? Its the Spec R one.

Ugghghhh. I envy that kit. Must steal kit from chris...

I have seen few of those. I hope you can copy the kit. That'd be cool. What are your plans for the R34?
