Hi guys.
Set about one more model.

Headlights are molded.

im likeing the pink . are you gonna do a body kit

You seem to come up with all these different colored primers that seem to get everyones attention. Good work so far. Really like the headlights.

those projector lights are great, im gonna have to get myself some!
is pink going to be applied over the top of that primer or something a bit more subtle?

Thanks!

I'll build it straight from the box except headlights and wheels.
pink is just primer :icon16: I'll paint it Finisher's Rich Red.

mixed Gunze red a little in "Mr.base white 1000" and painted by airbrush. ;)

(...beats me what the rest of it says; I just like the 'we love NSX' bit...)

Red NSX-R from you will be top-shelf for sure! :D Just wondering, how many red models have you built? :)

This should be another good one from you Kunta,you still manage to amaze me as always in cranking out such fine work in such a short period of time. just by curiosity have you ever counted how many built models that youve got?

Painted Finisher's Rich Red.

Thanks Jay, I LOVE RED! :evillol:
I built over 50 models in red. light,dark,metallic...
my next actural car('91 3rd Camaro Z28) is RED too.
you mean you want to translate that Japanese in the pic?

Thank you. I built over 300 models in this 25 years. :icon16:
old models didn't survive any more.
I was very busy last year, built only 12 models.
but this year, I'll do modeling at "Full Throttle"! :cwm27:

Does it come with an engine?

No, this kit is not including engine.

Kunta, your cars look so COOL!.

Full Throttle very accurate term to describe. ;)

No, thank you. I just use it because it already says "We love NSX." :)

Waiting for the next update!! :D

Hey Kunta, nice work! Your models always seem quite inspiring.. Anyway, I have this same model too. I found the quality of the body and the fit of the front bumper to be absolutely *horrible*! However, the thing that bothers me the most is definitely the mounting point of the front of the chassis! You can see it right through the front grill! Do you plan on modifying it at all?

The reason I ask is that I plan on modifying mine so that those mounts don't show through the front. I also have a wrecked Tamiya NSX kit and am thinking of transplanting the engine in there. I actually wanted to use the windows and engine window too, but noticed that they don't fit at all. The Tamiya NSX apparently has a slightly bigger roof...

What are your thoughts?

clem..

Clem, thanks.
I completely agree with you. front bumper and rear under panel get serious fitting problem.
I sanded it but there are still slightly open.
maybe it settle down if put putty inside but I gave up and threw over. :disappoin
I opened the duct of front middle section but leave holes for put in chassis. I'll put radiator in.
Using Tamiya's engine is good idea. ...it'll required big modification. :rolleyes:
Good luck! :p

Kunta, for me, it's just all talk right now. I don't really have time to start the kit as I am very busy finishing some university courses. Anyway, I did just have a look at the 2 kits, and I think what I might do is use the Tamiya chassis and interior and then mate the Fujimi body to it. That *should* be easier than trying to stuff the Tamiya engine into Fujimi. I still can't beileve how simplified the Fujimi kit is, AND it costs more than Tamiya! What I need though, are some reference pics of the R-tuned engine in 3.2 form...

clem..

Assembled chassis and interior.
these metallic paints on exhaust pipes and engine were hand brush paint.

thats looking amazing. its a shame its not a full engine but you have managed to still make it look great!

Kunta, that high performance car needs higher performance rubber!! I thought mine came with P-Zero Asymmetricos... Your build is looking great. I might get to start mine next month...

clem..

:eek2:Another stunning model.Which rims are you going to use?

cant wait to see this done

:eek2:Another stunning model.Which rims are you going to use?

thanks,
I use normal stock wheels, painted them gun metal.

That interior and chassis looks amazing. I can't wait to see this one done. I'm sure it'll be amazing just like all of your other kits.

Nice to see you working on a new project Osamo. :)
Looking great so far, everything done with real care and perfection.
Keep us well informed on the progresses.
