1/12 nsx

[dadaman]

Hey guys. Its been a while since posting a build here.

I didn't plan on ever buying a 1/12 nsx as the price are just way out. However this came up for a good price and i couldn't say no. It was a build kit but that's never a problem by me. I stripped the car and fortunately the owner before this only use 5 drops of glue on the whole car. the rest of the parts were just fitted together. The kit itself is a really good kit. Lots of details to it and nice features that make it stand out compared to other kits. As the build goes on I will keep you guys updated about the kit as well as the build.

heres what it looked like when i got it.



and what i plan to do (similar)

yes my desk looked like a train wreck after it was stripped


the interior had a terrible brown carpet in so i quickly changed it to black.



interior panels and seats got a repaint

[dadaman]

Dash was repainted and carbon added




This is the engine before it got a repaint


this is after (need to take more pics )


and some work on the lip

This is cool. Did not even know a 1/12 nsx was made

[dadaman]

Thanks. its quite an old kit so not many have heard of it before lol

[Ron Hamilton]

Very Nice!!!!!!

[samurai7]

Yup..it was made by Rosso....I have this kit in my stash...What wheels are you using?...Are you cutting the roof as well?

[Kennyboy]

For the look you are going for, I would look at the Radio Control world for wheels/tires.......ebay has 100's of them even in low profile. Just look for the 1/10 scale drifter wheels and tires.

BTW, you are very lucky to have this model.....I want one of these quite badly. I will be following your build.

[kendog261]

looking good I would like to get one of these also

[dadaman]

Thanks for the responses. not planning to cut the roof but I will have the same wheel. more on that will be revealed soon

[flo9mr]

[dadaman]

some more on the motor. Now that most of it is ready I can start some of the wiring and plumbing

[dadaman]

I decided to make the suspension movable since its going to be super low.

I'm thinking this is the kit http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rosso-1-12-HONDA-NSX-Model-kit-NIB-/301140912135?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item461d65a807

[dadaman]

Yes that the one. They have become quite pricy recently.

Im about 85% complete with the front section.

[hgbben]

Astounding work

[dadaman]

Thanks!

ok so I have finally completed the front section. once I finish the suspension ill put the battery and spare wheel in. This is about two weeks work just for the front section.

[dadaman]

this build was on hold for a bit because i have been waiting for my wheels but they have arrived today!

this is just a quick mock up

[Davewilly]

Very nice! Who makes the kit you are building? I am not sure I have seen one.

[Cien1986]

your detailing work is truly something.......

excellent....

[Twokidsnosleep]

This kit is Rosso's 1/12 NSX, have one in my stash

Very nice and detailed kit, just not so interested in the car as much anymore

Hope you keep building this, see if you can inspire me..... or I will sell it
