dukedell560 Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) This kit is the Tamiya 1/24 scale JACCS Accord. I purchased this kit at a show for $5.00. I was concerned about the decals as there was some mold inside the box. During construction my suspicions were confirmed as the decals were not useable. So, I built this as a low budget race car/drift car. The finish is Model Master Custom Lacquer System Silver Blue Metallic. All other paint is either Testors or Tamiya.

ewaskew Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 OK I see you fixed the photo problem. As for the car that is a very nice build man.
krazyglu Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 very cool mine also became a low budget racer, but I paid way more than 5$ and my decals were fine other than the fact that I was to scared to attempt it . I like that color....it kind of has the look of a factory honda color...great job.
Dr. Cranky Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Excellent work, and that photograph is very cool.
RodneyBad Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Great looking Accord and Great Photos.. Nice work..
dukedell560 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Posted November 15, 2011 Earl - Thanks for the compliment. Took me a few minutes to figure out what what wrong posting the pictures. Steven - Thanks for sharing your build. Great Job on your Accord!!! The decals just disintegrated as soon as they hit the water. In terms of the color, you are correct. that silver blue is very close to an actual Honda factory color. Dr. Cranky & Rodney - Thanks for the compliments on the model and the photos.
Dominik Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Hm. Can't write "great" or something like that - sorry. This generation of Accords has a aggressive design, specially on the front. But what happened with yours? The stand of the wheels? The windshield? And why is the body not fitting on the underbody? For me it looks crocked - sorry, but that is what i see. The location of the pictures is well choosen. I will not make you bad, but here you can pick out even more determined on the kit! Thats only my opinion to this modelcar!
