Acura RS-X rebuild

[JesseJames]

Another honda/acura I have on the workbench at the moment. This is one of the first kits I built a few years ago when I returned to the hobby after having not built a kit since I was a child.

I decided to take it apart and give it an overhaul since I've gathered some materials and skills since it was first built. So far I gave it a fast sanding, lowered the rear suspension and scratchbuilt a subframe brace and lower control arms.

Any comments or criticism welcome. Thanks for looking!

- Same here, I have quite the collection going as well. Yes this is Revell's RSX. We'll see about this subframe, the dimensions are fine just the look isn't quite right yet.

I worked on the front suspension this afternoon.

Continued by removing material from the inner fender/wheel, some faux axles and then some more test fitting!

Ride height is looking good so far just need to continue removing some material and address the camber!

Thats quite a squat. Underside is looking good!
