Taiyri Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 So I randomly got this idea to do models for all the major cars from the old Japanese Manga/Anime Initial D. Just curious if anyone has ever done this and if they've got tips for specific model kits to avoid? I've found the following kits so far. 85 Toyota AE 86 - Aoshima 99 Mazda RX-7 FC3S - Aoshima Mazda RX7 FD3S - Aoshima 05 Subaru Impreza WRX - Fujimi Nissan Silvia Kit - Tamiya Nissan Skyline R32 - Tamiya Lancer Evo IV - Hasegawa Kits I haven't found yet: Honda Civic SiR II (EG6) Sileighty (RPS13) Lancer Evo III Thoughts? Tips? Gripes? Complaints?
Skydime Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 Are you interested in getting a group together to do this as a community build? If you are, try having a mod move it there and you may have some luck with it.
o-man Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 If he doesn't reply here, you might want to send martinfan a pm. He has built several of them. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hasegawa-CD10-Honda-Civic-VTi-ETi-1-5-VTEC-1-24-scale-kit-/331079350948?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item4d15ddfaa4 VTi instead of Sir-II. Body is the same, wheels are different. I've built an SiR. One of the first cars I did when I got back in the hobby early this year. I don't think there were any fitment issue, as with most of the Japanese curbside kits
Danny Lectro Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Fujimi makes an S13 Sileighty: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10243784 I have no experience with the kit, however, and I can't comment on quality.

I want to have them all lined up like a set. Thanks for the links Danny and O-man! I'll add them to my bookmarks folder for purchase later.
