dadaman Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samurai7 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyboy Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 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.
