Matt Bacon Posted Monday at 10:27 PM Posted Monday at 10:27 PM Inspired by an article in a recent issue of Octane, this is my version of a special order NSX-R built for a British banker in Tokyo when they were new, shipped home and cherished since then. This build is essentially the regular Tamiya NSX kit from 95ish, detailed with some parts from Fujimi's version. If you just want an NSX or Acura NSX, then buy the Tamiya kit. If you really want an NSX-R then there is a dedicated Tamiya kit, but it's rare, and pricy. The Fujimi is not as nice, but has some key parts you can steal and add to a base Tamiya kit to achieve this effect... I've taken a few liberties with the original... the wheels for example are not the super rare type option it sports, but since you can only get those in a transkit that costs more than both Tamiya and Fujimi kits put together, I hope I may be forgiven. The colour is as the original, but it's only in these pictures that the real beauty and nuances of the pearl "Racing Green" are visible. This is the real thing: Mine's "inspired by" rather than a "replica of", hence it's sporting different (but period-appropriate) number plates... I really should try building a model that doesn't require combining or converting several kits and adding aftermarket one of these days... best, M. 11
JollySipper Posted Monday at 10:47 PM Posted Monday at 10:47 PM That really looks great! Did you use a mask to do the black on the window pieces? I'm gonna have to figure out how to do that to my kit........ 1
