i just finished my Revell Civic EK Hatch, which pissed me off towards the end and decided to start another model. i didnt want to run my LHS so i looked around and found two models. The AMT fast and furious eclipse, or a LEE Ferrari F50 Barchetta. i decided that i was going to start on the Eclipse first, and as soon as i finished the eclipse, i was going to do the ferrari. so here are some pictures of the first stages on the eclipse.

shaved raingutters, spoiler holes, and door handles. molded fenders to body.

i dont know why this model comes with engine details when the hood has no hinges (oh well, it came with a premade turbo for a turbo model maybe?:naughty: )

like always, constructive critisism is always appreciated from me.

Nice Work!

im having a hard time deciding what color to paint this bad boy i used gray primer, so it has to be a dark color, im not making that mistake again (look at civic thread...) metalic green or blakc?

how about a dark blue metallic with white and light blue interior? somethin like that

im going a dark metalic green, probably with a black interior. but thanks for the suggestion

ok body has been painted, two coats of dark green metalic, these pics taken right before third coat was applied. next step is the interior and engine(both which im screwed on because i cant find the instructions:banghead: )

I think I have those instructions somewhere. I can get you some scans if you need them.
