Acura RS-X rebuild

Recommended Posts

Another honda/acura I have on the workbench at the moment. This is one of the first kits I built a few years ago when I returned to the hobby after having not built a kit since I was a child.

I decided to take it apart and give it an overhaul since I've gathered some materials and skills since it was first built. So far I gave it a fast sanding, lowered the rear suspension and scratchbuilt a subframe brace and lower control arms.

Any comments or criticism welcome. Thanks for looking!

looking good!! i also a honda guy but more about collecting than building.

Its that the one made by Revell??? also that subframe looks so good!!! i try buying the one eigthone81 sells but are sold out long time ago, keeps showing pics!

- Same here, I have quite the collection going as well. Yes this is Revell's RSX. We'll see about this subframe, the dimensions are fine just the look isn't quite right yet.

I worked on the front suspension this afternoon.

Continued by removing material from the inner fender/wheel, some faux axles and then some more test fitting!
