I finished the EG last night, came out pretty good, a few things I wish I did to it though "lower it, used clear paint on turnsignals/tailights. But I think it still looks decent.

I also have some pics of the new project, Honda Del Sol, I fit a lip from the Integra Type R kit and it fits damn good. Also painted the wheels with the kit black with silver lip.

Also I just ordered a EP Civic Type R and some aftermarker wheels ;)

Ditto. It's a ricer that doesn't look too ricey. The paint looks great. Very nice build. :D

Nice, I like it, it's pretty much the same as my style. But one question and one comment... Did you paint the body? and.. the front kinda looks like it needs to be lowered.

Final product looks good, I think a little drop would look real nice though. I went a little more modified on mine

Now that I look at it, it seems like the nose is tipped up a little bit from the rest of the car... Could just be the pictures. And I am pretty sure it is painted, it is way too metallic to be bare plastic.

No offense Bean, your model is very nice, but we just got done saying how we liked CWBETB's Civic because it was very simple and rice-free. Yuor model is very nice, but very ricey. I didn't try to be mean here, just clearing it up.

"Yep Im into the clean imports! Now if only I can find a 4th gen Civic to make it look like my Real Hatch"

I have never seen a 4th gen H/B but I have seen an 84-87 H/B and I could take the rear of that and mold it to a 88-91 CRX front end to look like your 4th gen. I have done projects like this before.

You can check my thread of my SiR II Cpe I am making from 4 total models or check out http://www.jacksoncreation/com for more stuff I have built

:eek: You do amazing custom work. I was under the impression that your green Civic was bought like that, and not a lot of custom work was done. I am anti-rice, but I must say your work is amazing. Keep it up. :D

I really appreciate the compliment!! I used the Hasegawa kit and the Revell Type R to make it what it is. I actually have another EG on the way cause I love them so much, I just have to figure out how I want to build it?? I went pretty crazy with the green one but I know I can improve on it......we will see

check http://www.jacksoncreation.com for more pics of the H/B

Man I have looked the farthest corners of the internet and thats the only pic I found of the 4th gen. I know I saw another pic of the rear but I can't find it:mad: But I am still searching. I'll probably stay up all night this weekend and see if I can find more pics.

Hasegawa , Honestly the kit isnt to detailed "interior, under the car" etc, I thought the kits plastic was to thick.

I took that picture and tried to investigate it wit Paintshop Pro 7 but I think somebody purposely made it hard to see clearly.:(

I honestly agree with u with the kit, it doesnt really have anydetail on it, But its a great kit to work with though, very fun. am building one awell. Im painting mine Light GunMetal, and its going to be riding on some Mugen MF10's that are Bronze. This Civic kit that i am building will be perpously built for "speed" looks. I not going to any body work, accept jDM things to it such as Carbon Fiber Hood, Carbon Fiber Lip, and a custom made Intercooler that will be put in , in a couple of weeks. If u want to talk more go to my thread, and sorry if its off topic. My thread is ProJect: jDM Civic! :) And sorry for getting off topic again.

I just love building this hatch kit because I love the real car, though I also think the detail is less than great on the model out of the box.
