rosso 1/12 nsx

Hey guys. Its been a while since posting a build here.

I didn't plan on ever buying a 1/12 nsx as the price are just way out. However this came up for a good price and i couldn't say no. It was a build kit but that's never a problem by me. I stripped the car and fortunately the owner before this only use 5 drops of glue on the whole car. the rest of the parts were just fitted together. The kit itself is a really good kit. Lots of details to it and nice features that make it stand out compared to other kits. As the build goes on I will keep you guys updated about the kit as well as the build.

heres what it looked like when i got it.

Very convincing engine!
:)

Wow! The engine looks better than the real thing!!!! Well done. What paints did you use on it?

I will watch your build with interest and hopefully it will convince me to finally start mine:)

That engine looks fantastic! I've always wanted this kit, but like you am waiting for a cheap one, and waiting and waiting.... But it looks like it may be worth full price! I'll be watching for more updates, love it so far!

thanks guys.

for now this is what i got up to. I decided to make the suspension movable since its going to be super low.

You put a lot of effort into that detailing.
:)

I tried my best.

Keep it up bro!
Andy

Looks way kool Raees. :smokin: Loving the stance. (and the wheels of course) :thumbsup:

lol thanks guys. im just hoping once painted the wheels wont look overly big.....

Wooo! This kit is in my "maybe one day" stash. Wheels are one of the hold ups for me on this one, but it looks like someone is solving that....
