4th gen prelude in-progress

well I started this kit when I was still doing my r34, I gave the body a few coats of primer and 2 coats of mica red, I still need to give the body a few more coats of mica red to start using the rubbing compound. The undercarriage received a coat of red mica as well and it end up looking like sparkling red. Next time I need to give it a primer coat, but for this one is going to stay like that. the seats nd suspension are done. The spring were painted in yellow to give it the aftermarket look. I try to get some picture of the inside for reference but i couldn't none.

Progress is coming along nicely, keep us posted.

well this would be on hold now =( until i figure out how to fix my suspension. I just broke a piece off and I can't continue :mad:

"Plastic welder" at any hobby shop will be strong enough to fix your problem.

Looks great, I hope you can fix the suspension

It's mica red from tamiya. I fixed the suspension problem, I'll post pictures of what I did later. This one should go allot faster than my prior model, because it doesn't have that much detailed and no engine. :mad: It should be finish by the end of next week.

here's a few more pictures. I fixed the suspension piece that broke off by making a new hole with a hot needle, then I use some of the spare plastic to make a pin sort of. I place the pin in the hole and glue it together and although it doesn't look like the other side still works =)
