Started on the Silvia R.....first pic too !!!

Well......after the poll that was taken for the next kit to build....its underway :sun:
So far i've had a play to see what sort of ride height and wheels i want to go with.
The stock wheels have been chucked in favour of some aftermarket rims.
It does piss me off how the drawing on the box makes the car look so good. The wheels are really crap and look nothing like the box....the tyres look like bloody truck tyres...lol
I'm sure its just a plan by fujimi to make crappy ones with the kit so you have to buy there nice new rims and low profile tyres
Anyway, heres a pic with some 18's that IMO look pretty good....i have another 6 sets on order from HLJ that will hopefully be here in the next few days to see what they look like.
Colour....no idea as yet

Thumbs up

Looks cool to me! Which kit is it? I looked and found several from Fujimi. As for the color.....BLACK would look pretty slick IMO.

Now a Silvia???

P-man you are a freakin' machine!!! Holy crap. You're a one-man model factory. Every week something new comes from you. That's the same one I'm working on right now. I got the S15 Mine's version painted w/ purple pearl.

Kin hell Pman you dont waste any time do you. You've got this time management thing down to an art, whats your secret? or does your Primera do wonderous things when it reaches 88mph?

Anyway great choice on model and wheels, how about something completely different for the colour? Check out some import sites for inspiration.

How about Tamiya light gunmetal with a carbon-fiber hood? You're skills are tight, by the way!:sun:
