Cefiro Sports Cruising

[Cychalen]

I see more and more people doing old cars so I decided to join the crowd with this "BAD" (in a good way) looking car.
It is an Aoshima Cefiro Sports Cruising. It is not really old, but I think it is from the 80s.
Removed the mold lines (not bad for an old kit) and glued the "aero" parts together to see how they fit. Surprisingly they fit like a glove.
I will probably paint it like the box art. What do you think?

an original project, love to see this one completed...

cool. how about chopping out that piece that makes it look like it was a four door (even tho it was) and making it look like a 2 door?

great project BTW.

very unique, i love the paint of the box art.
You should definately go that way or even better, black.

I'd swap the wheels, probably for Fujimi's 345 RS Watanabes or 345 OZ Wheel Racing's since they've got that radical deep dish thing going for them.

Other than that, this is way wild and definitely cool. Plus it's a clean build-up.

great build!

Definately!

Must be a rare kit. I haven't the box art before. Wonder how the rear passengers get out of the car.

86_SR5. Chopping out which piece?

jswillmon. I was thinking about black too, but I read somewhere that black will somehow hide the shape of the car.

Layla's Keeper. Those Kranze Shoki were beside me so I just grabbed them to take the pictures (It was late). I am not going to use them.
Deep dish Wanatabes will look really good, but I think FUJ19124 345 Watanabe is only 15 inches (F-285/40VR15, R-345/35VR15).
I will probably steal a deep dish wheel from another kit. The 1st one that comes to mind is from Koenig Specials 500SL Coupe.

Honoturtle. I was thinking about that too.

That is tight. If you paint it like the box art it should come out pretty nice !

Love it, never seen that one before...............

The piece that is the C pillar I belive. Not the window frame, but the piece right above the rear wheel. Id show a picture but i dont have access to my photo editing programs right now.

thats like a insane A31 cefiro...very insane...
I LIKE IT!
imo a rekon a light gunmetal would look pretty SIK on it. but thats jus my opinion. feel free to ignore it

[tonioseven]

I agree. Light Gunmetal would look great on it. AWESOME kit!!

[mel_carramel]

i saw once there was this guy who i knew drove an actual cifero but he truely tricked all others by converting it into a nice almost real Nissan Skyline.. why not try it? may be it will turn out GORGEOUS?

[Purpura Delujo]

Deep dishes and dark paint would look hot on that. Nice car, I love Cefiros, ultimate Drifter I reckon.
