Thanks man. I am going to eventually have all of the S13 chassis' bodies done. I still need a 180sx and a 240sx coupe....which isn't made as a model, so I'll need a spare 180sx to chop the front and swap. If I was thinking I would have just done that first and got a sil-80 out of it...

Bit of a fan then??

This thing is incredible. Definitely one of the best replicas of a Silvia I have seen yet. Mind sharing what model kit this is from?

Projector headlights are a fail.

Give it bricks.

You could say that. I love cheap RWD cars...which unfortunately aren't much in production these days.

It is a Fujimi Sil80 model kit. I think this was the packaging:


The intial D kits have one, but it is less detailed...I saw it on a model forum, just not as realistic. I think I paid around 20 shipped for it, ebay.

I don't know what you mean....

The headlights you currently have on there are projectors.
"Bricks" are headlights that are on the kit above and here:

Gotcha... I am going to use that type on my S13 silvia, I try to make the builds a little different.

Although I do like the "brick" style better, I don't like the idea of having projects that are to much the same.

Thanks! Small rims, big tires. Going for the "track day" look. Had some bigger ones on it, but the little red retro-rims seam to fit the style I'm going for better.
