1/24 Nissan 180SX

Here's a few photos of one model I'm presently working on.
It's Tamiya's Nissan 180SX, with a few mods to reproduce (at least trying to reproduce) the mid version look.

The front bumper and some other stuff has to be modified or changed in order to get a closer replica.

The interior is completed but the underside still needs some weathering (I'm trying to get a realistic weathered look), but the body is still far from ready!









I hope you like it.

Cheers

Marco Preto

It looks outstanding so far, especially that interior.

Re: 1/24 Nissan 180SX

I really see no point in making the "mid model" version as Fujimi and Aoshima both have pretty decent versions that have the front end already done. I know the Tamiya has a SLIGHTLY better interior and chassis, but that's a lot of work.

None the less, the interior is a work of art! the chassis is well on it's way as well, it looks fantastic. the wheels are a perfect choice.

I've got my eyes on this build.

Looks really good so far, I can never turn away from watching a good S chassis build...

I really need to get some of mine built...
