Revell Civic progress thread

I got this kit about 2 and a half weeks ago and made some pretty good progress on it.

The carbon decal is from the sheet included from the kit for the hood. I'll also be making tailights from this decal. The intake is Alcald II chrome, the valve cover is Tamiya acrylic with the carbon decal, the block and intake manifold is MM Aluminum Metalizer, and the headers are Tamiya acrylic black.

This is the only part of the body in which I made some actual modifications. I used Evergreen .20 styrene and Tamiya Basic Putty.

This is the rear bumper included in the kit. Saved me alot of time because I was going to do this style of rear bumper.

Heres the engine compartment. Painted Tamiya acrylic red and I brush painted the wires with Tamiya acrylic black.

I'll keep you guys updated on more of my mods.

Yikes I didn't think theyd be this big. Mods, could you please resize? I'm really sorry about this.

You need to resize your own pictures. Moderators don't have acces where you upload your pictures.

Mods on the body look really good so far. Keep it up

Finished up the firewall today and have one seat completed. I'll get some pics up tomorrow.

Some progress:

It's coming along great. I'm wondering if I should cut out the grill section and replace it with the mesh uncluded with the kit for the optional bumper. What do you guys think?

nice progress so far.

Got the body painted an clearcoated. I'll polish it tomorrow

Good luck with the polishing. Looks real good.

Haven't updated in a while. The body is almost done polishing. I had to strip the original paint job so that's why you guys haven't seen much. All I need is to install the dash and steering wheel assembly, door panels, and rims and brakes and this project will be complete. I'll get some pics up by tomorrow or something.

i have a slight feeling that this one is going to be very nice, good luck m8

i look forward to seeing this finished, progress is coming along nicely

I know the pics aren't good, it's cloudy today here. I should be fully finished polishing by tonight. I know theres some touching up to be done. The little rail thing will be painted black.
