Hey guys, just started getting back into car models. I'm not all that great, but am trying to learn. This was also my first time doing scratchbuilding. Took me forever to find styrene. Lemme know what you guys think.

ALSO, when painting and applying the taillights, how do you guys make it perfect? On the integra, the lights seem to cloud up and get messed up. I applied very little glue, yet it messed up.

I tried to make a replica of my friends integra, but unfortunately, there are no 94-97 integra models, only 97+ models. So i had to make due. Also planning on polishing/waxing the body to make it shine more. It's still a bit dull.

Heres the real thing:

Here's my Revell NA Street car. Still finishing up on the front bumper and a few other details. My first scratchbuilt parts (race header, ITB's, Roll Cage).

ya, planning to mod it some more. it was just used to hold the header together, but i might keep it. Gotta cut the bumper for the header now.

Looks good,all of´em ! The exhaust on the Civic looks like something the local police might wanna discuss with you!!

yeh for gluing the lights use some sort of glue that when dry it turns clear, testers make one. As for the car it looks good, practice makes almost perfect builds.
