Honda Civic EK Hatch

[StanGlover]

Here’s my Revell Honda Civic EK Hatchback! These Tuner Series kits are a ton of fun with lots of custom options. I built the Integra and Civic coupe as a kid when these kits were new, so this was definitely a nostalgia trip for me! I recently bought the entire series from eBay now that I have adult money; my allowance back then did not stretch far. ?

I built this one with a more modern JDM/tuner look than the fun-but-gaudy 2000s style the kit represents. I painted it in Testors Extreme Lacquer Purplicious to vaguely match the best Honda color ever, Dark Amethyst Pearl. Interior is in Krylon gray. The racing seats came from the SVT Focus from the same series, in Rustoleum Gloss Apple Red. These Tuner Series kits build up very nicely. Revell seriously needs to reissue the entire series, I would buy several of each.

That red Civic coupe is the very one I built when I was 12, in full early-2000s-tuner regalia. I brush painted that one in Testors Acrylic; body graphics were kit decals applied long before I knew Tamiya Mark Fit existed. It’s one of my better childhood builds of the surviving few, but the camera is definitely hiding a ton of blemishes. It’s fun to see how much my skills (and taste) have improved!

Nice job! Very unique. Both look very nice.

Awesome build. The purple is amazing! I built the F & F version of the Civic coupe (but changed it up a bit), and you're right. These kits are very well engineered, and practically fall together.

Great looking civics.

[Yeah Nah]

NICE! You don't have to be into this sort of car to appreciate the quality of your work Zack.

Excellent build Zack, I'm particularly digging the engine compartment and those great looking rims! Did they come with the kit?

@ea0863 Rims came with the kit! Along with two other wheel choices
