89AKurt Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) Only because I own a 2016 Honda Civic EX-T Coupe (10th generation), am I looking at this. From what I can tell, it's average quality, and a curbside. The Type R is a top-of-the-line pocket rocket, has not been offered in the USA before (a rebadge prior not worthy). Converting it to LHD would be a pain, and it's the hatchback version which is much different than my Coupe's trunk. The real car *starting price* is $36,595, so I will never buy one; but to build what they don't offer is tempting. Has anyone bought a Modeler's kit? https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10568107 Edited December 3, 2018 by 89AKurt Correct manufacturer named Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone bought a Inter Allied kit? https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10568107 Inter Allied is the distributor. The resin is from a company called Modeler's. They've been around for probably 15+ years at this point and probably offer some of the best mass produced resin kits available at their price point. I have about a half dozen of their more recent offerings, including the prior Type R they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 And I think I have the other half that James doenst have, If you go look in the resin section , Ive covered a few of these kits, they are worth price tag for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Modelers Resin kits, if you don't buy them the first time, you have a high chance of missing out on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 Now that Popular Mechanics picked the 10th generation Civic for 2016, I *have to* get this kit! They should have picked the first generation for 1975 or whenever they introduced it, but I'll live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
