JDM type R head light conversion
I was wondering if anyone has any ideas, on how to go about doing a JDM integra type R headlight conversion, on the Revell ITR, w/out actually buying the JDM complete kit...?

Re: JDM type R head light conversion
sounds like a lot of hassle for a kit that already exists.

I don't know, have I?
(I don't think so.) I don't think anyone would attempt to do such a conversion in real life without sourcing the appropriate parts, so I don't see the logic in trying it in scale. There are plenty of times when scratchbuilding is necessary, but I think most modelers I know of would MUCH rather scavenge parts, when available... |

Re: JDM type R head light conversion
Keep in mind that there are scaling issued being that the Revell ITR is 1/25th scale while the Fujimi counterpart is 1/24th scale... I encountered that when I mounted Revell ITR tailights to my Fujimi CRX. I ended up butchering a Fujimi ITR to maintain scale accuracy..
But, if accuracy isn't a concern, I say go for it.

Haha, that's funny.. Why do a JDM conversion when you can own the real thing..! Anyways, I'd probably buy the 2 kits and try to splice in the Revell parts into the Fujimi kit, or cut the front out from the fujimi body and hack it down to 1/25th, if that's even possible... I mean, you'd only need the dashboard from the monogram kit. Then stick the Revell engine into the Fujimi after cutting out the hood. I wonder if you can even widen the Revell parts (like the bumpers) to fit the Fujimi kit.
All in all, sounds like it could be a fun project..! I am still in the process of lowering my damn Fujimi... clem.. |
