Hello Automotive forum.
My name is Lukas and I comes from Slovakia.
I´m new here and I would like you present my project. My project is HONDA CIVIC TYPE-R late model ( around 1998). from FUJIMI. Scale is 1/24.
Here are some photos and small progres on this car. ( I LOVE HONDA CIVIC 6th generation :wave:)

THIS IS MY LOVE :cool:

Tomorow I try to paint wheels with Tamiya PURE WHITE spray and Bodywork too.

PS: Sorry for my bad English :frown:

If you haven't bought the can already, how about try the tamiya racing white instead? Maybe it will look more like the white on the type R cars....just a thought.
Keep up the good work!

Nice car:) what about wheels a you gonna change them?

for KAHO: Unfortunately I bought PURE WHITE and some modelers recomend me PURE WHITE. We'll see how it will look like after spraying...

for SIMAS17: No, I don´t plain to change wheels, wings or some parts of bodykit because I want to original CIVIC TYPE-R without tuning

Front brakes (original Honda CIVIC TYPE-R hasn´t red brake shoe. Originaly is a little bit more silver tone but when I used more silver paint this brake shoe began to coalesce from the brake disks)

Looks good, you should try putting a black wash around the lug nuts though.

you are off to a nice start! I would suggest test fitting the suspension and wheels first since the stock suspension sits very high and makes the civic look like a 4x4.

yes if you don't look the suspesion and wheels your car wheel be like 4x4. the same problem was with my Integra type r it was looked like 4x4.

Hi.

This interior is terrible. Door panels hasn´t any details and Honda CiViC TYPE-R hasn´t armrest between seats
:banghead:
I must repair it.:eek7:

enjoy... :cool:

Wow I didn't know type R's don't have armrests in the cabin unlike normal civics until today! Thanks for the heads up! Good luck recreating the interior, I built one of these before and the door panels were hopeless! If it is me I would take the door panels right off another civic kit by Revell, that will save days of work for sure.
Another thing I don't like about the Fujimi kit is that the headlights look a little off. The bumper and grill looks updated but the lenses look like it came from before the facelift.

Your mirror looks really reflective!
