Honda STEPWGN Custom - Fujimi 1/24

This is my new "freestyle" project. I decided to experiment and do some scratchbuilding to convert boring Honda in more eye catching car.
I also plan to test some new paints and techniques.
The models is Fujimi kit - Honda STEPWGN in 1/24 scale.



Simple and not particulary attractive car has been put into hands of japaneese tuner...

The plan
- New, bigger rims (Enkei GTC-01)
- Big (racing NSX) brake discs
- tinted glasess
- aero kit
- prismatic paint (Alclad saphire)
- sport double exhaust - similar to Honda Accord TypeR

Original wheels



Body sanded

Unmodified chasis

Silencer and exhaust removed. I will build new one when I fit in suspension and aero parts.

New wheels


Front suspension (Fujimi) modified using discs (Tamiya) and wheels (Aoshima)



All done

New wheels



I have started building new aero kit. I will make fenders wider to fit new wheels and I will try to create something sporty.


Before any putty work I will build construction of bare plastic which I belive make the whole process easier.
When basic shape will be ready I will do some check outs with the wheels and will see what else can be done.







I am pretty happy with the current outcome.
Front bumper is not finished yet - only lowered. I think I will modify whole front, make air intake wider (a bit like Evo X).

Great start. These people mover kits are crying out for the "tuner" treatment.

Cool! You don't see these that often. Great work so far, the fenders and bumpers are coming along well. Can't wait to see more!

Re: Honda STEPWGN Custom - Fujimi 1/24

How do you think which bumper's air intake looks better - left or right?
