nissan 180sx

finally got ahold of one of these, thanks to Phatmitsu..

it's the OK Racing kit, but im not using the decals.. building it the way I want it.

Color is Pacific Green (the Aqua Pearl I was going to use didn't like the thinner I had and I wanted to get it painted this day, so I use the pacific green because I already have a pint mixed up.) The rims are 18" TE-37s which replaced the stock
'drift' rims, which were WAY too small (like 15-16" damn you fujimi!)

everything else will be stock, even the muffler.. the interior will get it's own touch but won't have anything special.

onto the pics! (paints not settled yet so it looks orange-peely)


-primer-



-basecoat-


-color coat-
