Completed: Green Hatch...10 outdoor pics

Daytime, but what a shame there's no sun now, so only the first pic does the color justice. I had a great time building. This was my third with revell with the same interior/engine (also did civic coupe and itr) so I knew what to expect.

Great build & fantastic paint job.

Later, Mike :thumbsup:

Very nice work!:sunglasse

Nice! Love the color on the first pic:)

Very nice, that blue tied in really well.

Slick Civic! I like it all! Especially the valve cover detail

Very Nice Indeed.

looks good!
how did you make the taillights?

Looks cool in green and blue interior. wonderful work! :smokin:

that engine compartment is DOPE!

Very clean build

AWESOME BUILD DUDE! Perfect from where im lookin! lets see some more.

Sweet! Love the "DX" badge!! ;)

super nice hatch. love the engine bay, stunning work all around!

Very nice and clean.

I was happy until I saw that DX badge on the back. :grinno:

Guys, I guess I'm just ignorant about this whole dx thing, the instructions just said where to place it but I have no clue what it means. Please enlighten

"DX" is the low trim level for the US market. Very bare-bones. IIRC, all of the hatches sold in the US were DXs. None of them came with motors like that, though.

You've unintentionally under-badged your car. Street racers do that all the time. That's fine, though, since it's obviously not a DX... ;)

Damn, Now that is a nice civic!

Under-promise...over-deliver!

Loved this project from the begining and I still do :biggrin: Looks great.

Gorgeous paintjob, nice mods and very nice and clean finish, I like!

Same color as my Toyota Supra. :-)

Looks sweet man!

Lil'budman

Looks real! Nice build, paint and photo shots!

Very Cool!! Nice and clean. Those are awesome tail lights, and the CF detailing on engine parts is nice too. Got to love that green. All in all a very sick car. :jump3:

nice, how did you make the rear lights?

Very nice build.
Great

Your cars are always amazing.

One question: Did you do any mods on the bodykits or it just came with it?

thanks

nicest civic i've seen in a while... fresh and clean

Clean, hot, and sexxy. Very nice. Love the color choices for the in an out. The taillamps even look good. Just fantastic work, honestly. The only drawback is that infernal kit supplied exhaust; otherwise the model is immaculate.

Edit: Not all hatches were sold as DX. There was also CX (same motor, but with a constant variable transmission) and I think HX (VTEC motor tuned not for power but for efficiency, economy, and environmental friendlyness). Of these, only the DX is worth anything to us sort of people, as it was definately the cheapest and equiped with a manual transmission. This is the car that always gets the swap. This is the ideal Honda hybrid platform. So this model is perfectly correct, it is a perfect representation of a hybrid Civic hatch (the motor supplied in the Revell kit can represent nothing other than a hybrid, I wish they would include the DX/CX/HX/EX valve cover, though). And though the 1:24 owner of the car got it repainted, he likely kept the DX badge so he could smoke an Si and snicker a little about it.

very very ncie, clean build

Dude that looks sweet as hell!!!!!!!

I like honda's, i like civics, i like green and i realy like this model.
Awesome job m8 :smokin:

Looks very nice, a little different than most civics I've seen

definately love the paint! nice clean build ;) wish i had the painting talent, great build! we jus wont tell anyone that the car is a 4 lug wheel pattern :p
