This is an Stock 1/18 Nsx from Revell, just a bad toy, but we are gonna make some changes to make it look much better (better than original at least)

What do we have?

- Chrome wheels instead of white/silver/gun metal (99% have silver wheels but the other two options where also available)
- Acura lights in fenders instead of Honda turn indicator lights.
- Bad quallity paint, full of molded problems
-No details (no calipers or even brake discs, no interior detailing, etc.)

Love in this DieCast is missing.

Now lt's do some paint job on the engine, painting it with a beautiful red which represents that the engine it's not the C30A 3 liter 5 speed Vtec, turning now into the C32B 3.2 liter 6 speed Vtec. (since 97')
