Hi. This is another Revell Civic coupe :uhoh: . The paint is the recently introduced Model Masters lacquer in the shade of Dark Bronze Metallic; an old Mopar color. The only things I added were the wheels from an Eclipse, XS Tuning brakes, plug wires, PE speaker grilles, Spoon decals courtesy of Lau Bak. I removed the molded-in lower grille and added some black mesh. I painted the headlight housings flat black for a more purposeful, sporty appearance. Panel lines were done with a brown Gundam marker. I added a rear spoiler from my parts box and decided to use the “Altezza” lighting option for the rear, painted black. The only problems I encountered were the mounting of the front wheels and the window glass doesn’t fit right. It’s far from perfect but hey, I have another Civic coming along and hopefully that one will be a bit better in its appearance. Thanks. :smile:

You say it's far from perfect.... I think it looks pretty dang good!! The paint looks awesome.

Very nice!, I love that wing on the back! I also like the Black altezzas. :sunglasse

Hey Tonio, drive it on down to ATL!!!! That color looks awesome! Great work!!!!!!!!!

looks great, so much style

Intresting, yet very well chosen color choice. Whats that cup in the background of one of the pictures? You litterer.

Coolness! :sunglasse :sunglasse
I expect to see this in Atlanta! Even if we can't seem to convince GTmike400 to come to a club meeting :rolleyes: :grinno:

Okay now...are you, CADguy and Kunta trying to see how many kits you guys (or is that "you machines"?!) can build? Is this A/F or have I reached the Speedbuilding 101 message board?! Man...I gotta get on the stick! :iceslolan

looks awsome Tunio, I like the suttle wing on the back, always though Civic looked better with small wings

Man...I gotta get on the stick!

Me too! I madly want to get some stuff done before November.

Great model, tonioseven! I love the color. I am going to have to steal it for a handful of cars that I am going to build from the same "tuning factory." I adore it. What paint is that on the header? It's perfect. I like the rest of the style, too.. the black rims, the Spoon decals.... Great!

If you are having trouble getting the rear quarter windows (is that the right term?), and if you haven't permenantly attached the body to the chassis, I have a tip. 1. slightly sand the bottom corner of said windows, so they bevel up and out from the center of the car, and sand a matching bevel into the window frame or 2. with gloves so you don't mar the window paint and the clear plastic, PUSH PUSH PUSH!!!!!!!! until the window pops into place. You'll probably be afraid you'll break the window, but you won't. At least, I didn't. It's tough.

Great model! Love it. We need more Hondas like that around....!

Excellent job!!! Those tail lights are to die for!

Nice one tonio, can't wait to see the next Civic. :)

Nice and clean :thumbsup: Top job, as always ;)

An ITR lug conversion.....sweet :smile:

Sweet work Tonio.

Awesome

Great work Tonio. :) Very cool metallic color.

I love the look. The suttle tuning doesn't quite let you know if the is an all out street racer or not. Ya gotta race it to find out.

Nice detailing, Looks real sweet :thumbsup:

another great build from the Master of Metalic Paint !

Looks real good! The color is fantastic. I like it simple like that.

Brilliant!

Awesome! Lovely paint, and those rims are sooooo nice. They look like 5Zigen FN-01R< i think thats what they are called. Lovely stuff!

Geez, thanks all!! :lol2: First the questions: 1. I used Model Master Jet exhaust for the header. 2. The cup was already there but I did throw it away after I realized it was there :p . 3. I'm just trying to have fun building again. :iceslolan . 4. I'll try the window tip on the Veilside Coupe (next up). 5. I was hoping somebody would notice the 5-lug conversion although I forgot to pick out the lugs with silver paint:naughty: . 6. Simple can be good! :smile: Again, thank you all for the comments!! :iceslolan :smokin:

Nice 5-lug conversion.

Sweet build!

JeFF

Nicely done!!

I love it, nice color choice and layout. it came together soo nice.

:sunglasse Nice work!!! LoVe the engine and tailight work! :sunglasse
