Hey guys this might be one of the best models I have built, its coming out really smooth. I went for a 2 tone paint using Tamiya Racing Green and Black. I smoked the headlights, used seats from the 93 Civic Coupe kit and wheels. Also altered the spoiler from the kit and made many other adjustments. I still do have to do the interior, do a few touch ups and clean it. Also some pics of a Mugen CRX I am about 99% complete on. Any suggestions or comments are welcome! Anyone know where I can get some racing seat harnesses also? Thanks

Wonderful builds! The only thing you could do to add realism is paint the black trim on the insides of the windows and apply a blackwash to the panel lines. Everything else looks great!

Tamiya paint is amazing, both the green and black went on so smooth, unlike Testors paint I used to use!

I will try to get more pics of my other models in the future. I also picked up the seatbelt harness I was looking for, looks pretty tuff to install though, I may be over my head :)

What are you guys using to paint the window trim? Paint of a Marker?

Nicee:) To paint the inside of the windows i use Tamiya XF Flat black and a brush. Try my best to stay inside the lines, and for some parts i mask it with tamiya tape.
