Bought Fujimi Veilside S-15 today

[Forhod]

Sorry.. late about this but.....

Welcome to AF

Veilside are suppose to be silver.. hmm....but afterall.. black isn't a bad idea!

[bri g]

The problem with black is that you can't really see the body kit (which is what makes veilside stand out) too well. I would go with some sort of light gunmetal or silver. I'm working on that kit right now and it needs a lot of work

i'Ve got summer holidays for 6 weeks now so i have time to make it

i think a light blue with a silver touch owuld be quiet nice

[Wishmaster]

Or try the opposite.. First 2 coats of silver then 2 coats of light blue, if Í it comes out as I think, it should be light blue with a little metallic like look. But ask for confirmation first from others before trying...

And W E L C O M E ! ! !

(yes that was LIME GREEN )

blue would definitely work too! just look at P-man's vielside rx7 at the gallery If you have any questions about the kit, let me know and maybe I can help you out with them.

yes,i have a question.my kit is still in the box,nothing done to it

have you tried how the parts fit?is it a good kiti want to know..i spend a lot of money in this one

[bri g]

Well here in the Philippines, the selection is few but the prices are good. I got mine for approximately US$20 or so. regarding the fit, the rear skirt fits pretty good, the side skirts need a lot of work! both edges stick out into the front and back wheel well. the front skirt fits okay but also needs a lot of work. I really don't mind though because it's a veilside and it's going to look good when finished. Those rims are great too!

thx for info...so i have to work a bit
but no prob..i want a good result..

Finally another german guy has come to af.com! I own this kit, too, did you buy it @ nimpex.de? (so fuckin´ expensive, about 40 € with shipping) I paint the kit in TS-17, the fitment is ok, but the "Seitenschweller" (I don´t know the english word at the moment ) needs some work, it´s a bit too long.

If you need a product of Tamiya, write an e-mail to [email protected] (in german, of course). She has nearly everyting of Tamiya, but she needs the article numbers (look @ www.hlj.com). If you have more questions or didn´t understand everything, PM me in german.

[OPI M.]

thx man


to make the "seitenschweller" or lets say side skirts fit good shouldn't be a big problem.and thx for the email adresse,could be useful

i wanted to order it@ nimpex,but it wasn'T avilable anymore

so i had to get it t ebay,for 45€ + 6€ for "shipping"

very expensive and i will train n a cheaper tamiya kit before making the silvia.


do you have icq or msn?

[Snooker]

I just added you on ICQ. If you want to try a cheaper kit for training, get the Subaru Impreza, it´s a very easy kit.

[OPI M.]

snooker,i have some questions,please come in icq
bought primer today,white one,think it is good

and some sand paper (right word for it in english)..so just wait fopr the kit to be shipped,will buy a tamiya kit to practice tomorrow..
