Nissan 240sx (silvia) by fujimia

[lanesteele240]

this was my first model in a long time. i was building it while i worked on my model room.

i call it my warm up kit. it is a fujimia Veilslide S14 (Spelling) kit. it is basically a copy of my first nissan 240sx. i used scale motorsports carbon fiber for the hood and sprayed the headlight buckets chrome silver with a spot of light blue to make it look like hiper white light bulbs. this kit was trash. nothing fit and the windows did not come with a mask and they did not have etching where the black window trim should be. i did not paint it in because i thought i would make matters worse if i tried. i did use a set of skyline r32 wheels for a deep and wide look on the rear and set the bottom of the kit above where it should have fit to lower the front of the car. i think it came out good considering it was constructed on my wife's kitchen table and the first car in like 6 years.

thaks for looking

Lucky enough to own a real S14 huh? Must be nice, especially if it looked like the model.

Well Dave, I am in the process of 'collecting' the Fujimi Initial D series myself; primarily the AE86s and Itsukis' (Iggy) AE85. So far, the kits are nice and come with some extra parts options that I will be transferring and adapting to my Aoshima AE86s.

i painted the car orange with testers and cleared it.
