That kit is in my stash, with Scale Motorsport photo-etch plus the Hobby Design EJ20 engine kit (yea it's STI). So cool to see one built! Looks GREAT for fist time, are you kidding me? Last century, I helped with a Rallycross, got a ride in a souped up 4 door Impreza, it was a blast!

A what?!?! ? I love how you executed this, the trim over the roof and onto the hood. No, don't know what you're talking about. ?

Very good, that's the point of this forum! I don't have a WIP of my '87 Civic, joined the forum after that was done. I was hoping to do a similar engine swap (more like add), but noticed this kit is 1/24, and the Revell is 1/25, so it wouldn't exactly be accurate, but more doable than the other way around, which I found out the hard way on this Corvette. There is also a Facebook group dedicated to the first generation Civics. That's right! I did that for a recent project. I know there is a topic on this forum for L-R HD dashboard conversions, if I ever get around to this, will consider making copies.

Oh man, it's going to look like I'm photo-bombing your topic, because I started driving with a '77 CVCC! I got this kit, as well as the CVCC kit. You did a really clean job on yours, and very good photography too. More important, you BUILT IT! ? This was soon after my dad got it, no license plate on the front yet. 4 speed, bias-ply tires, no a/c but dealer added accessory that robbed the glovebox. Still had it 1985 when I built my house. By then I added a stereo with 2 speakers (original was AM/FM only and 1 speaker), tried an Ansa muffler which rusted out after only two years, and radial tires. Traded in for a new '87 Honda Civic Si, built the Tamiya kit with some modifications. I still have dealer brochures! Looking at both kits, I need to modify for American market by making LHD, change the hood intake scoops, bumpers, mirror, sidelights, turn signals. The RS is going to become something else. Anyway, sorry to trespass on your lawn, but you sparked my interest again. Yours is the first completed project on this forum, so congratulations! I'll save everyone from my stories. ?

Appreciate your effort to do this comparison. The Fujimi an Enthusiast Series, with complete engine?

I know exactly what you mean, about not building for awhile. I built this kit too, but had so many modifications that I chickened out, and it sat in the box for maybe a decade. It's a nice kit without screwing with it. You did a fine job, and really cool that you own the real thing. Was there a version with a hardtop?

Nice archeological dig here my man! ? I discovered what has to be the worst kit ever, when I helped with a Make & Take. It was donated, had been started. Whoever at AMT was tasked with the Batmissile should be drawn and quartered. I would bet every kid who tried this, abandoned model building forever. Snap together, right...... ?

That's really nice, and I love the display!

Thanks for the answer. Thanks for the picture! You should see the house, packed to the gills. Wishing the best to you and your family too! Thank you, I didn't know.... This lady has whole collections, Disney figurines for example, some worth hundred$ on eBay, plates, painting prints, etc.

Attended a Christmas party, the host loves to decorate for Christmas, this was one of three trees! Had to take a picture of some ornaments, good idea!

Have one in the stash, the acres of chrome is daunting. Came out really well, nephew should love it!

That qualifies for a "Killer" build! Watching rally videos is a great way to get pumped up, which I need for the Audi project. Well deserved award.

Thought that only applied to maths. ? Last century when I went to school, it was "mathematics", and the multiplication symbol was x not ·. I've been noticing people are putting the $ after the amount, like 500$. Also the abbreviation for the year, instead of typing two more numbers as 2019, I was taught '19, but now many are typing 19'. Don't get me going on Twitter grammar.

I'm totally out of the loop on military models, I know there are forums for them. Good to know about out-of-business detail, anymore I snatch up whatever when I see it, don't wait around. Instructions have "spear" wheel. ?

Awesome workmanship on the c-f decals! Do you eyes go skitzo after awhile? ? The Lamborghini Setso Elemento is 100% c-f, in case you wanted a challenge. ?

Aftermarket wheel/tires. Not like you think, it's a military model! I re-discovered (it's like hiding Easter eggs over and over) that the evil tires melt plastic, got the Italeri kit some time ago, discovered they melted the plastic on the cab and some other parts (pen pointing to the spots, you can see an outline of the tires). I figured someone came up with a replacement, there are resin tires with a "sag", but these injection molded plastic wheel/tires were a little cheaper. There is photo-etch parts too, but I'm not going there. Really stoked about getting these thin wall stainless tubes.
