I haven't built any but I think it would be cool if the Top Secret S15 was a kit. I like that car, what about doing a stock one but customise it yourself?

I'm thinking of doing that, but even if it starts as stock I still want the best or close to the best quality stock to make it easier

They're all the same, the regular release versions that is. The distinct one is only the Veilside one.

But still, they're all the same chassis (meaning gotta be lowered) with maybe extra aero-parts here and there.

The limited release (plastic+resin) ones are better looking but they're OUT OF PRODUCTION.

According to a friend, most if not all of Fujimi's kits of different variations of a car are from the SAME mold, inclusive of those more expensive ones. So what i suggest is buy the stock one. In most cases, it would contain some extra parts that some of the more expeensive ones also use.

Just curious! Is all those with Fujimi kit (plastic + resin parts) are mostly limited?

There was a discussion on this a while back and I post a pic of the cover boxs for some of these guys:
- Esprit
- Sard
- CWestin
- Garage Mak
- Garage Defend.

These all come with resin body kits (front and rear bumpers, sideskirts, wings) and wheels.

The only thing that is even remotely "available" (assuming it's in stock in HLJ) is the Garage Defend.

Check this link and drool away

Actually would like to sell away since those body kit was cast by Fujimi themselve and I don't think is so rare , but now...is look pretty rare to me I still prefer the Esprit and CWestin S15. (Although I already got all of them)

At least very rare to us in the States who depends on HLJ, Hobby Search or what not for kits

Maybe easier to find a year or two ago...
