Revell Civic Hatchback Tips

Hello Everyone:

I've search, but didn't come up with anything. Also I've read the FAQ. I'm just wondering if anyone who's built the model has any tips. In the tips P-Man say sand the body is that necessary with the Civic HB? I want to built the Civic with a Engine Swap would I have to buy another kit for the Engine Swap? Any advice would be helpful.

what kinda engine swap? An integra type r swap? Both the engines are identica to the naked eye. But in reality, the ITR engine is a 1.8L and the civic is a 1.6. As for tips, all i can say is, let the paint settle before you try and put the windows in, as the triangular back/side windows will scuff the paint on the window sill. And make sure the bumper is glued on before you put the chassis and interior in the body. The back bumper tends to go crooked badly if not glued or settled.

I want to swap in a Integra engine or a Civic Type R engine. Thanks for the reply.

Sanding the body removes any mold lines etc and can also really help make the primer "stick" when sprayed on.
