No you can choose different ride heights so that’s at the lowest setting but it didn’t need any modifications

Very nice William, where in our 32 Counties do you shout for?

Thanks for the comment, I’m from Carlow. No need to ask where you are from. It’s nice to see somebody else from Ireland on  here, I don’t think there’s many

Wow, great restoration!  I've not seen that particular kit before either.  Were the Carrera decals not used?

Now I will look for Dettol.

Thanks, yes most of the decals were used so I had to order new Carrera and Porsche decals from scale production and paint around some others

So I haven’t posted here in a while but this is a bit of a celebration as I have been building this for 5 years.
I purchased this from eBay as a built model and it arrived worse than I could imagine, it was a complete glue bomb, the body had been brush painted with the thickest enamel I have ever seen, the interior and whole drivetrain was painted thick black.
I broke it all apart and put the body and interior in brake fluid for about 6 months! And it still didn’t shift anything!
Discouraged I put it back in the box for about 2 years until I discovered dettol, 24 hours later I had a clean body.
I had to paint the engine and interior around the decals but they turned out ok I think. 
Apologies in advance as this is pretty pic heavy

[Fujimi Nissan Sileighty]

Just finished this one. I made a few changes as I went along, the old front bumper was cut off and the new one added on, lowered the suspension, flocked carpet and parcel shelf, detailed the dashboard, cut out sunroof, changed the drivers seat for a Recaro, aftermarket wheels, scratch build exhaust pipe and fujimi metal muffler.
It's painted with Halfords Ford purple aerosol and Halfords lacquer.

I bought my nephew a model kit a few months back which he assembled by himself and very strangely took care of and didn't break in bits apart from the rear glass engine cover.
They are a very simplified kit and are lacking in detail but for a kid of his age it was ideal.



He cornered me recently and said he wanted it painted blue so I took the chance to detail it while I was at it
I fully stripped it down, detailed the full interior, painted the glass, added projectors to the headlamps, detailed the engine and chassis, stripped the chrome off the wheels and painted black, prepped the body then painted metallic blue and laqured.
2 hours later (the quickest build I have ever done) and I was left with this.

I started this about three years ago and lost one of the headlights so shelved it, I eventually ordered s new kit just for the lense and finally finished it. 
It took a lot of modification to cut the bumpers off and lower the suspension but I think it turned out pretty good
It's also the first time I used a fujimi muffler and I am going to order a load of them, they are awesome.

[Tamiya Honda S2000]

I have a bit of a soft spot for these.

We've owned our 2005 "Suzuka Blue" S2000 since new.

My wife will never part with it.

Nice work William, but just for the record, the black & red interior was not available with the "Rio Yellow" paint.

 

Steve

 

Now he tells me!

Thanks for that, I didn't know that colour combination was unavailable  from Honda but good taste would never put them together in reality anyway. I would love to have an s2000 myself and Suzuka blue is my favorite colour in them, some day maybe.

[Tamiya Honda S2000]

Just finished this one. Usual Tamiya quality so went together easy, this was one that I had previously started painting the body which I made a mess of so then put away. I dug the body out of the stash and put in the detol  bath and then started the interior while it was soaking for 3 days. 
It's also the first time that I have flocked the interior of the car, this is now something I will be doing on all my future builds. Apart from that and lowering it is box stock

[Revell GT350r]

For model number four that looks great William.

Whereabouts are you from?

Thanks a lot, Kilkenny.

[Revell GT350r]

First revell model and I'm impressed, it went together really easy. I've since painted the door handles and cleaned the polish out of the gaps. It's my forth model completed and my painting skills are getting better Any comments welcome.

[Fujimi Mugen Honda Integra Type R]

Nearly finished, I probably should have painted the wheels bronze. What do people use to tint windows? Is it just a case of using regular car tint film?

[Fujimi Mugen Honda Integra Type R]

The wheel displayed on the box don't actually come with it so I ordered the correct mugen wheels for it. The wheels that I got were male fitment though and I had to cut up the kit wheels to make them fit, I just cut the centre hub off the originals and glued them on to the pin in the new wheels

The suspension had to be dropped quiet a bit so I chopped the shocks and heated and bent the front subframe to match

the under carrige nearly finished

[Fujimi Mugen Honda Integra Type R]

Usual Fujimi quality, I had to cut the original bumper off and try make the Mugen one fit, I had to cut out the vent holes in the bumper aswel. The paint isn't perfect but I'm not changing it now.

[Koenig Specials Competition]

The Countach also comes in 1:24 Fujimi Enthusiast Model, very detailed kit.

[Fujimi Civic Type R]

Nearly finished this one now. I had my first attempt at painted yesterday, I was supprised at how well it went.

And with some of the other wip's. Civic wasn't wet sanded yet so looks very dull.

[Fujimi Group A Kyoseki Skyline GTR]

Thanks for all the reply's. The suspension and hubs needed a lot of work to have it sitting right but it looks ok now. As for the colour I cheated a bit, that is the moulded body colour and I didn't have to paint the body at all, which is good as I'm not confident spraying yet.

[Fujimi Group A Kyoseki Skyline GTR]

This is my first build in a few years, I have a few on the bench which I'll post later. The decals were a disaster due to age, I had to get them off the backing paper with a blade, anyhoo here are the pics
