WIP: Fujimi '96 nissan 180sx
Been working on it for quite a few days now, been busy with school work. Thought maybe i want to document the process down. This is my 3rd car so far.
Here is what i have done so far. Enjoy! The chassis  Custom made exhaust using Pen Refill, hehe. The ones from fujimi were too small...  The Painted Brake calipers  The hatch   The pop up headlights and spoiler  Painted body   Any Comments are Welcome! Cheers, Joel |

Re: WIP: Fujimi '96 nissan 180sx

Re: WIP: Fujimi '96 nissan 180sx
Looking good. Exactly which shade of blue is that? I like seeing people's cheap alternatives for a paint stand

Re: WIP: Fujimi '96 nissan 180sx
you should paint the pop up covers with the rest of the body, because it is quite unlikely you will be able to match the paint.
Looks good so far though. I really like the color. infact I just built a 180SX Type-X drag car that is nearly identical in color.
