Progress: Tamiya, Castrol Mugen Accord
Hello!
I'm back, and here is my new project.
Street version would look nice but I decided to go race version, what do you think, which would be better?
Here is some pics of chassis, rims are not painted yet. Now I'm starting interior.
Little feedback please!

Is the car from the Japanese Super Touing Championship or similar?

I build it to race car. If I had do it to street car, Iwould have painted it with some candy color and chrome rims.

Build it street and sell me the decals... No, really, I'd go race version. You don't see much of this particular Accord around and it's very cool, I think.

Re: Progress: Tamiya, Castrol Mugen Accord
Looks really good. I like that exhaust system that came on the car. Straight though.

Here is pics of completed interior, only some little paint fixes to do (I noticed them from pictures).
I don't have tamiya paints so I have to use Revell and Humbrol paints ( Only I can get here). Only green paint that I found for body and rims looks like this: (picture is maybe bit too bright)
What do you think is it even close of the real color?

I brushed it, only once to see how it looks. Need to paint another coat. Pic is also bad, actually it looks better.
