This project has been on and off since 2000. I almost completed it, but decided a vacation was needed, so here's what's I've got so far. It's a Revell Body (Thanks Tonio) and parts from the Revell Summitt Racing Firebird. Lots of scratchbuilt and photo-etched parts. The engine layout is now FR just like the real car. This may not be the most accurate representation of the vehicle, but it very close.

Stock NSX is mid-engine. This car however is a replica of the A & L NSX that Adam Saruwatari races. Check this link- http://www.carandmodel.com/featuredcar/4.php
It's an awesome car, I've seen this thing at an Import Drag race event and is truly amazing. This model is no less amazing, good work. Can't wait to see it done. :bigthumb:

Thanks for all replys. I still need to polish the body, connect the parachute, wire the interior, and add rear coilovers/shocks. Stay tuned..

Interior is finally complete. I have polished the body, added panel lines, and a parachute. All that is left is creating decals, and add more detail to the exterior. This should be complete by the end of the month.

Hey man nice build. But I think you left something out on the interior. The 2 back support bars that hook from the back top of your cage and then onto the frame above the coilovers. Then to add from there you need an X style brace inbetween those. Just check out the pic I added it'll give you a better idea of one of those cars roll cages.
The red simulates the cage add-ons. The blueish circles are where the bars should be connected to on the cage and the frame. Kep up the good work.
