S13 345 Tuning **FINISHED PICS**

Looks like I made it right on time. Here are the pics, as promised. I had more but some of them didn't turn out very good. Hope you like it.
Before anyone asks, the bodykit came with the kit itself, it was molded in styrene plastic. I will be scratchbuilding the bodykit for my next S13 though.

Wow, that's a pretty crazy looking body kit. Pardon my ignorance, but who makes the model? And those wheels? Did those come with the car? Crazy lip action!

awesome awesome awesome

i happen to like the blue wheels...that lip is crazy, its so deep you could eat off of it

but one thing...in the front.. is the turn signal on the left hand side supposed to look like that.. it looks like the paint was chipped..maybe im wrong

...you could use it as a snow plough !!!!!...darn thats low

Real agressive looking kit on this model.
Looks like a great job from the pics.
The back wheels are a bit to "deep dished" for me though, but the size looks awesome !!

What a fantastic looking model! You have done a great job but i would also say that im not a fan of the blue inserts on the wheels, IMO gunmetal would work better!

Thanks for the comments guys, I really appreciate it :flash:

To answer some questions:
Hash man - Here, from my progress thread, is a pic of the interior:


howiedoit - It's an Out-of-Print ( ) Fujimi model, and yes the wheels came with it, I found it at my hobby shop sitting with all the Hasegawa models.

SilverLotus - Hrm, I think that's just a bad reflection from the light...took a look and it doesn't look chipped at all

turbos86 - Already bought the Tamiya model (since Nakazato's R32 is basically stock with tuned engine), gonna have to scratchbuild an front-mount intercooler, maybe add a bigger turbo. Hardest part will be getting some Night Kids decals, though..

and finally

barnabei - I have a Tamiya S13 lined up for this bodykit from Border in Japan:




I have to get ahold of some epoxy putty first, though.

Again, thanks for the comments everyone :flash:
