plumnuts Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 as buy the tital name you can figure out what color its going to be. I'm trying the testors lacquer for the first time ,so we'll see if I like it better than the tamiya spray. the kit was picked up at everyones favorite model shop (big lots) . and I baught 2 of them. one for me and one for christian. (my 8yr. old son) we both primed at the same time ,but he jumped into painting first and ran out of paint before job was done. instead of waiting to get more paint he decided to SCRAPE the paint off with a razor. anyway he was close to tears before I steped in and traded him body's. anyway, I'v been smoothing on this thing for weeks and got it close. also opened the front air vents for a functional look. I'm feelin a lot of builders block on this one and a 07 mustang kit I got, so as always any ideas and suggestions are welcome. I'm really hoping to get paint on this thing in the next couple of days. and some more pics will be on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlite5hadow Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 this is just my own personal preference, and you may already have a plan for it, but try to get the rims to sit either flush, or just ever so slightly inside the fender. much cleaner look. anywho, how's the level of detail? im assuming the engine is typical revell molding. i've been debating getting this and the civic hatch for quite a few months now. needless to say i will be following your builds here.

I have that one too and I'm fighting to stay motivated to build these kits. I like to finish them before I get another cause I don't have the room to store alot of kits. here is the start of the motor. hope it helps.
