Hello Automotive forum.
My name is Lukas and I comes from Slovakia.
I´m new here and I would like you present my project. My project is HONDA CIVIC TYPE-R late model ( around 1998). from FUJIMI. Scale is 1/24.
Here are some photos and small progres on this car. ( I LOVE HONDA CIVIC 6th generation )

THIS IS MY LOVE



Wheels + Bodywork is in surfacer (1000 white)





Tomorow I try to paint wheels with Tamiya PURE WHITE spray and Bodywork too.

PS: Sorry for my bad English

kaho

If you haven't bought the can already, how about try the tamiya racing white instead? Maybe it will look more like the white on the type R cars....just a thought.
Keep up the good work!

Nice car what about wheels a you gonna change them?

Maverick117

for KAHO: Unfortunately I bought PURE WHITE and some modelers recomend me PURE WHITE. We'll see how it will look like after spraying...

for SIMAS17: No, I don´t plain to change wheels, wings or some parts of bodykit because I want to original CIVIC TYPE-R without tuning

Hello everybody. I have progress on my Honda. Here is:

Finished wheels with silver starch and H logo



Front brakes (original Honda CIVIC TYPE-R hasn´t red brake shoe. Originaly is a little bit more silver tone but when I used more silver paint this brake shoe began to coalesce from the brake disks)






Part of front axle



and exhaust pipe


Bodywork is in white after second layer and I wait when confirmed the surface... ENJOY

Looks good, you should try putting a black wash around the lug nuts though.

you are off to a nice start! I would suggest test fitting the suspension and wheels first since the stock suspension sits very high and makes the civic look like a 4x4.

Simas17

yes if you don't look the suspesion and wheels your car wheel be like 4x4. the same problem was with my Integra type r it was looked like 4x4.

Hi.
I have progress on my HONDA. Here some photos

Rear axle:


I must add sway bars on rear axle


This interior is terrible. Door panels hasn´t any details and Honda CiViC TYPE-R hasn´t armrest between seats

I must repair it.


Some pohotos of bodywork:

First part of wing:


bodywork (without polishing ! because Tamiya polishing past is on the way from HLJ.COM)

enjoy...

Wow I didn't know type R's don't have armrests in the cabin unlike normal civics until today! Thanks for the heads up! Good luck recreating the interior, I built one of these before and the door panels were hopeless! If it is me I would take the door panels right off another civic kit by Revell, that will save days of work for sure.
Another thing I don't like about the Fujimi kit is that the headlights look a little off. The bumper and grill looks updated but the lenses look like it came from before the facelift.

Your mirror looks really reflective!
