Hasegawa civic hatchback

[rookiefromcali]

hello everybody. i recently stumbled upon this forum and i like the work that goes down in here so much it has inspired me to get back to work on my honda.

heres where im at. feedback and criticism is always welcomed. thanks for looking. and yes this is a rebuild. i used to use spray cans. which is what i sprayed this with. then i striped it and sprayed it red again. but this time i cleared it with an airbrush and automotive 3 part clear. this model so far has a carbon fiber hood and wing. i wanted to do the whole trunk carbon fiber but found out that the carbon fiber was too delicate. i will post some pics of the motor and turbo setup when i add some things to the engine bay. hope you guys like it because EVERONES work on here is amazing. hope to learn lots in this forum.



AND I NEED HELP ON DECIDING WHICH WHEELS TO PUT ON....I WANNA GO WITH 15S BUT I ONLY HAVE ONE SET. HERES A FEW SETS IM THINKIN ABOUT.

i cut the wheel well a little. then made my own again to allow the car to sit lower. but i havent glued the tires on yet. i used styrene for the wheel wells. and about the engine. i got mines from the REVELL 99 CIVIC SI. thats was the best and realistic looking motor i had. also this kit comes with the honda vtec decal for the valve cover that the other kits dont have. thanks for the comments...

Welcome fellow SoCaler. Nice looking paint job.

[nomad_fsoak]

Turbo's piping is a bit wrong if I see correct, but overall the engine looks very nice.
