For ages and ages I have had this irresistable urge to build a rice car with a Veilside kit on.
I don't know why, maybe because I wanted to build 'a' car with a kit on but not a real one (kits look nice until you try and drive the car over a bump) and thus I would never fit one to a car unless it spent most of its life on the back of a trailer.
Now I wanted either a Fujimi RX7 Veilside, or Fujimi Skyline Veilside (like my mate's real one) but they were over $50. And even when I took into account just how gorgeous the RX7 was and how amazing the kit was (the detail was breathtaking) I couldnt justify spending $70 on a 1/24 model (paint and so on).
Then I noticed a fast and furious Veilside Supra.
Now it's made by Ertyl, and, their models are known (from experience by comparing the revell monte carlo to the ertyl trans am) for being utterly shit.
The trans looks ok, but it was a shit kit, thin body, shit quality parts and so on.
However, for $12 for the supra I figured I would give it a go.
And, Im pleased to say the model kit is fucking brilliant !
The detail is astounding, the kit is complete and you have to put it on yourself. Detail goes to full roll cage, 3 amps (mine are painted white already.. wonder what they are then?
2 subs, 2 chrome NOS bottles the lot.I really was amazed tbh.. Seats? you get 2 choices. Either the stock seats with harnesses on or sparco butterflies. Hey, it's rice to the max so I painted the butterflies
But even the quality of the body is awesome, it fits well and the veilside kit even includes a choice of alu wing or proper carbon.
So I chose the carbon one.. It just fits the supra very very well
Early progress. I have used some tinting vinyl on the windows.. Theyre not glued in I was just seeing (how well) they came out
