Re: Tamiya 1/24 Honda CR-X 1.5i Ballade Sports

What a cool little Honda! Awesome build, it looks fantastic. Fun to see these Tamiya classics built up.

I don't know that I've ever heard of boiling water being successfully used to correct a bent body. (I've certainly heard people suggesting it, but but you're the first builder I'm aware of that has said, yes I did it and it worked.) How did you go about it? Boil a pot of water on the stove, then dip the body in? How difficult did you find it? How soft did the plastic get? I have Tamiya's old Audi Quattro kit with a badly bent body. I'm not very hopeful that I could get another through Tamiya parts replacement. Suddenly you have me curious if it could be corrected, or at least improved.

The plaid seats are a great touch. Where did you find the decal?
