The Eclipse is pretty much out of the box except for opening out the front bumper and filling in the rear licence plate recess and reversing lights. Paint is Halfords Aquarius flip (green/purple/gold) - still needs to be polished out. Will do a bit of extra detailing on the interior (amps/harness).May well add a GT wing :naughty:
The Civic is Vauxhall silver/blue metallic (hood will be carbon fibre & wingless). Rims are from the Blitz Chaser and I'll probably use them on the Civic - undecided on the rims for the Eclipse but will wait to see what the new Fujimi rims are like.
Thanks for looking
Andy

very nice indeed I like the civic very much Im building one right now

Lookin' good!

Very nice paint on Eclipse

Lookin' great Andy!!:sunglasse

Very nice color on the civic !

I dont know why, but that Civic looks really good, and I normally dont like Civics.

Eclipse looks superb too!

Hey Andy, those look awesome. As all your models do!!! The paint on the eclipse looks great and the color choice for the civic is nice!!!!!! Keep us posted on the progress!!

looks cool, if i were as good at cf ing hoods, i would do it all the time also

The colors are awesome. Those rims look awesome on that Civic..Is that Civic 1/24 scale or 1/25? Is it bigger than the EJ8 Revell Civic's.

The box states 1/25th but comparing side to side with the previous kit it definitely looks bigger so I'm guessing it's near 1/24th
Thanks
Andy

Cool

Top stuff as usual Chris

:eek:Holy crap!! m..u..s..t.. b..u..y.. t..i..r..e..s.......

I mentioned it coz I know that they will work well with 1/25 kits as the profile is lower than normal 18"s. Therefore you can use 18" rims on these Revel kits without them looking like 4x4's or doing major surgery to tuck them right under the wheel arches.:)

^Ultimate coolness!!!

Nice, very nice Andy. Two Tone paint on the eclipse is very OG.

Yeah those wheels really set it off!! Now lets see the finished product!!!!

Just a quick update :

The rims on the Eclipse are from the Fujimi Impul V35 Skyline
with SAS Advan tyres. I think that the Fujimi GT-W wing may
be a bit too big so may have to try & find an alternative.
Thanks for looking.
Andy

The civic looks excellent, the hood is magnificent. The wheels on the Eclipse fit it perfectly! I love the way they turned out.

B-E-A-Utiful work Andy!! They really do look awesome!!

The GT wing in the '93 Civic fits perfectly!! I tried it out on mine before I lost interest in it. Awesome work as usual!!!:sunglasse:

Looks wicked cool so far!!!!! "SAS Advan tyres"? Enlighten me on this one.

Chris has branched out into tyres and gave me a couple of sets to play with when I saw him at the recent UK show - not sure if they're on his website as yet but they get a highly recommended from me.
If you get in touch with Chris I'm sure he'll let you know about availability.
Cheers
Andy

How the heck is that hood so real looking?!?! I must know! oh, and the rims on the mitsu are B-E-A-Utiful, Oh wow, love that hood and those rims.*drool*

Awesome! Are these tires also going to come in low profile for 17" or lower inch rims :evillol: :biggrin: :smokin: Like lets say...Spoon SW388's, WEDS TC-05's 15inch, and the Tamiya Mugen rims

By the way, Andy your this close on convincing me on buying those kits! Even though it doesnt come with a stock body kit, but what the hell :lol:

Good luck with those models!
