Vertex S13 Silvia
The kit is the recent Aoshima release which comes kerbside - http://www.hlj.com/product/AOS03977
so I plan to use the SR20DET engine from the earlier "stock" release in due course. http://www.hlj.com/product/AOS03873 Colour is Ford Radiant Red topped off with Zero pre-thinned clear and rims are Fujimi BBS LM's.   I'll post more progress as I make it - thanks for looking Cheers Andy

Re: Vertex S13 Silvia
I agree, if you could get a larger lip on those, it would really set it off! Looks amazing though! as usual

Re: Vertex S13 Silvia
I agree, with the kinda of body kit that's on there the wheels are pretty much begging for some lip. Other than that it looks like it's up to your usual standars...... In otherwords FREAKING NIIICE!!!!

Re: Vertex S13 Silvia
I need to see the headlights in better detail, and you need to better detail your headlights....with a black sharpie around the edge of the lenses.
I wish I could help you out on the SR thing, but...what ever, I don't think I'll ever finish it.

Re: Vertex S13 Silvia
Wow, it doesn't even look like the hood has been opened (cut). Excellent wheel choice. I'm gonna keep an eye on this one. Paint looks perfect also andy.

Re: Vertex S13 Silvia
Very nice work as usual, Andy! Despite the some of the comments, I know this is still a WIP so there are things that you've not gotten around to yet. Keep on doing what you do and I know it will be another stunner. After seeing these pictures, I'm seriously tempted to buy this kit!

Re: Vertex S13 Silvia
Thanks for the feed back guys.
As regards the rims and adding a lip - I hadn't built the suspension when I took the picture (which is something that I should have mentioned in the original post) so the wheels were just resting on the inner wheelarches - since then I've built the suspension up and it's pushed the rims further outwards to fill the arches, in fact I had to reduce the mounting point on the rears or else they stuck out past the wheelarch. I'll take some pics over the weekend. Agreed that the headlights need the black seal adding - there's no engraving on the lenses so I did try painting brush painting the edges with matt black enamel but wasn't too happy with the results - I'll see if I can pick up a marker pen and have another try. Cheers Andy
