Nissan S110 Turbo Silhouette

[Brizio]

I always lowed the shape of these silhouettecars. I start this kit from Aoshima that came out recently, expecting the quality of their Snap-kit, and newer models. But is a reboxed kit from the 80's, with a lot o flashings, and few details. The kithas also the parts to convert it into a battery powered car, altought they are blacked out, and no used for build this kit.

Here the most fascinating thigs of this kit, the body of the car.

If you follow the instructions, they tell you to paint the front part of the rear fender separately, glue the vent mesh and after glue it to the body. Doing so, it will leave have a seam visible. I tested it before paint it, and you can install teh grille/mesh after paint it. You have to glue the fender first, use some body filler and sand it.

 

Here the body painted, and yes, I'm not following the instruction painting the car grey. 🙂

The last thing I did is working on the tires and interior.

Painted gold the rims, and mounted the tires. Added Dunlop decals on the tires too. The kit does not provide decals, unfortunately.

The interior, I add hoses, cables, decals for the dash etc.
