voljeepx Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Hey everybody! Figured I've had enough lurking around looking at other people's work, it's time to put mine on here! This first one is a Honda Civic coupe that I just completed last night. After several repaints and a spell in the box, I decided on it's final color and stance. Red was created using inspiration from Bob and his Shelby Mustang. I first sprayed gold, then bright red, then mica red, and finally clear red before clearing it all and polishing it. All Tamiya paints were used. SMS carbon fiber on the mirrors and hood, wheels sprayed black and the stripe was applied by hand. Overall a fun build, and one that has been sitting around for too long not to be completed! C&C always welcome and thanks for looking!!
RodneyBad Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 WOW!! What a Red it is too.. Looks FanFippinTasic. Black wheels with that Bright Red lip looks Sweet. Gotta Remember how ya did that.. Excellent work.
envious8420 Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 looking really good! any underhood shots? first time i've ever seen a gloss black hood, usually they are cf or flat.
Saturnine Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Is that the Revell kit? Does it come with stock body panels and tail lights?
B-dub Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Looks nice and I like the carbon fiber look on the hood
20PSI Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Gotta love that civic! So nice and clean. Nice red. Can you send pictures of the engine please?
carrucha Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Cool Civic. Nice job on the paint. I have a soft spot for these Civics as my daily driver is a 1999 Civic HX coupe. carrucha
FujimiLover Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 looking really good! any underhood shots? first time i've ever seen a gloss black hood, usually they are cf or flat. You have to look harder at the corners of the hood and you can clearly see the C/F pattern. Nice job! Very well done! You sure have done your Civic duty!
voljeepx Posted August 30, 2009 Author Posted August 30, 2009 envious and 20psi: I will try to get under hood shots for you! Saturnine: Yes, this is the Revell kit. You can build it stock as well. Thanks to everyone for checking out my post and thanks for the comments!
ScottEKCoupe Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Nice Civic. I just built one and will have pics up soon. The things I don't like about this kit are the rear wheel track is WAY too narrow and the wheels, even the stock wheels look like 19 inch wheels which are way too big for the actual car, the real car will actually suffer rubbing and broken axles. I like what you did with this one though and the sponsor decals are a very nice touch.
beefheart22 Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 You sure have done your Civic duty! *Groan!* Bad puns aside, a good build.
MyBradKeselowski Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 Awesome!!! Fantastic looking Civic. I really like the CF.. Sharp looking paint job, like the wheels
JohnnnyKaye Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 This car is cherry! Nice color scheme...I like what you did with the rims. Check out some more Civics here My link
carrucha Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Cool tuner. I like the body and wheel colors. Nice and simple. Not cartoonish like some tuners. Good job.
TheCat Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Really nice job on that kit Ed. Love the wheels and the red trim.
davyou5 Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 I am not a big fan of Honda Civic's as they have been done to death, but that is one excellent build you have there . It really Cool .
