1/24 PIAA Accord progress with pics
hey guys
here is the model i am making at the moment. Progress is slow because of exams  this is my first decent model i have done. this forum rocks. I think i will go for the street style with race interior. I stuffed up the rear wheels so i gave up and just glued it together. It looks fine but is a bit loose.  i love how it is so low.Please comment and motovate me to keep going. I might add a GT wing. what you think? thanks sorry for the pic quality, it is my first try with my dads digi cam.

Coming along. A street version will be cool.
I built that once, but totally messed it up, so i created a custom racer with decals I had in the spares box. Anyway, keep us posted and good luck with the exams |

like it a lot ! nice and low, only thing is that I don't really understand the purpose of the foil? Did you eat a candy bar and you ran out of place to put it into your trashbin and you just put it on your freshly painted exhaust, went outside to have a bit of fresh air, came back and NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?
Sorry, twisted mind at work here ... Other then that , it looks ace. Olivier |
