Finally had the time to take some nice pictures of the Silvia. Simple kit, but looks real good on the shelf. Built completely box stock, painted Nissan Blueish Silver w/gray interior. Testament to excellent Tamiya models that  can be built to look great out of the box.

That is very, very nice. Sadly we never got the 2-door nor the fixed-light front end here, but they look great and your build captures the clean look of the 1:1 very nicely. It could easily be one of those reference shots in the back of a JDM brochure.

Along with things like the LS400, Honda NSX and Skyline GT-R they're one of those cars that defines a real turning point in what the Japanese were making.

Thank you, much appreciated.

Yup, I also thing US version was watered down, but what can you do? That was a very cool era in Japanese car history, and a lot of good cars came out of it.
