Fresh from the oven.

Just finish this tonite.
Almost finish this model. Jus a bit of touch up here n there left and a few decals need to be apply on. Hope u guys enjoy it. It a simple to built OOB but the worse part or i should say NIGHTMARE

. The decals omg is really killing me. But for sure not a problem for those PROs like most of the member here except me

Please keep this with you if you decided to built this kit.
*never put on the rims before the body cover put on and also try to screw the screws provided to the parts which need to be screw wat am i toking*
y?
cos it is pain in the arse to get the rim out and the cover just wont go in if u have already put on the rims and

just screw the part once or twice to loosen the plastic, cos there is no screw thread in the platics so it will be hard to screw it on later if u didnt do it this way.or any other way u think it might work.

Here is the pictures. Enjoy!!!

Comments r most welcome if u got any....
Thanks

Hey devilkeeism, the NSX looks great, I'm working on one right now and the decals are killing me.

Thanks for the advice about putting the wheels on last.

what an awesome model, you sure look like a pro to me.

You're the first! Looks excellent, too. Fantastic work. It's really nice to see one built up, especially so well.

Nice work, I imagine the decals for this kit are a nightmare, but this looks great!

The ending touch up +

The New meets the OLD

The new nsx and the old old. Raybrig is lots bigger and longer than the Epson nsx. not sure if u guys can tell from the pictures.

Wow great job. I cant see any thing wrong with the decals.

D_LaMz · 06-15-2006, 09:17 AM

looks good to me

Nice build! looks good...
but unlike the older JGTC NSXs from Tamiya, the newer series of NSXs don't have engine details

Looks really good. Great work.

That can be helped by an engine from the old one. I got one spare engine of the old nsx somewhere

Edit: hmm just saw my ref pictures. totaly different engine position etc

BTW, nice built. Looks very good

nice builds there!

the new diecast chassis that tamiya's using is definitely quite an issue-maker with screw removal.

Thanks guys for the comments.Appreciated

. There are more to learn from you guys for me.

As for the engine part, yeah i kind of agree that is sad that tamiya decided to take out the engine detail from this particular die cast range of model. And if you ever wanted to put in the engine for this, my commend is better not to.cause

1) the real windscreen is attach together with the cover. and it is not transparent.(and i dun see the point of putting up the engine for this also)

2) you will get yourself a hard time to cut out the windscreen and to find the right transparent plastic to fit in the rear windscreen(the curve and the shape)

3)i dun think there is much room for the engine also cause we need to screw the cover to the chassis thru where (suppose to be) the engine bay not unless you wan to attached it another altenate way

I hope my comments help here. Thanks
