:IN PROGRESS:180sx

Well i got my initial 180sx today in the mail. The kit looks very cool. And i need some suggestions on color. Im thinking a dark forest green for the exterior and i was thinking black paint on te hood and trunk but i dont know. for the interior i was thinking black and white or black and grey. Not a really intense model, just a clean build. I just want to finish one. So here are the pictures.




Thanks

Re: 180sx

i say if your gonna do a carbon fiber hood and trunk, do it with decals or scrap the idea... (if you want a real looking model) but tis your model. The dark forest green idea is great!but if your paint the car forest green, paint the rims gold so they are complementary that color combo rules!

Re: 180sx

I was looking at some of the spray paints i have and noticed one that was almost full. It was tamiya metallic red. So i think im gonna do that with silver rims. Hows that sound?

Re: 180sx

roght now im leaning toward the metallic red. So im gonna try it. BUT i broke my thimb at football practice and have a fricken cast on my hand and thumb. So i may be out of this project for a little bit. But i may become anxious and just start the thing with one hand. Thanks guys

Here is the picture of the interior. The camera makes the pic seems very rough/fluffy looking, because inreal life it looks pretty good. But here it is. Im working on the front seats as well. Will post them later.
