The 1/32 scale allows for excellent detail while remaining compact and easy to display.

Japanese Street Car Model

The Sileighty car is a modification that combines the front end of a Nissan Silvia S13 with the body of a Nissan 180SX. These builds gained huge popularity in Japan in the 1990s, especially among sports driving and drifting enthusiasts. The Sileighty, driven by Mako and Sayuki in “Initial D,” participated in countless duels on mountain roads in the Kanagawa and Gunma regions, often winning thanks to the drivers’ advanced techniques.

This model depicts a vehicle known from the late 20th century—contemporary to its day—and is based on the iconic street racing styling and Japanese mountain racing culture of the 1990s. The original Sileighty became a symbol of the independence and creativity of Japanese tuners.
