You did a very nice job on the two-tone to be your first. Congrats :rolleyes:

Like the sunroof. Is that a kit part or did you cut open the roof?

Thanks mate. I'm really happy how it turned out. The sunroof is stock meant to be paintedbody colour. But I kept it clear.

Two tone looks good. The red over silver is really sharp.Goes great with white interior.

This is a nice looking little car that after seeing yours I wouldn't mind having one to build.

Thanks so much for everybodys kind words. I have another 3 fujimi kits and I have to say I will be looking forward to building them. Maybe next time al try opening the doors. And again thanks for the nice words makes it more worth while. Although I build for myself to what I like. It's nice to hear that more ppl like it too. :()

Not that my opinion matters, but here goes. The CRX came out well, but there are some little things that need attention. Being an attention-to-detail kind of fool that I am (thank 4 years of Military service for that) I noticed that the wheels are directional in pattern, and you have one wheel going one way and the other going the opposite way on the same side of the car. Also, car specific here, the corner markers could have been done in Tamiya Clear Orange for the proper look. Most sunroofs (or TTops) that I know of have some sort of factory tint. The two-tone, while well done, looks textured. A bit of sanding with fine grit paper and an overcoat or three of clear would do wonders for it.

All in all, a nice build for many of your 'firsts'. I look forward to seeing more of your builds and to watching your building skills grow and mature.

Hi thanks for the input. I never even thought aboutthe wheels lol. But now u brought it to my attention I c what u mean. I'm kind of limited to the suplys I have. Due to other comitments. There for I am slowly but surely building them up. I haven't got any fine sand paper yet. But I will try pick some up. The problem I have is there isn't a hobby shop near by so I just buy my stuff online. Or use car paints. And the texture in the red I spotted as soon as it was dry. But don't know how it got there or how to get rid of it. Thanks for the info :D
