Accord Wagon

Picked this up at the LHS yesterday, they have a lot of the kits that are harder to find, if I'm not mistaken this kit is discontinued, It's the Aoshima 2.3 VTL cf-6, heres a pic of the kit http://www.hlj.com/images/aos/aos28995box.gif
I'm Not doing any body work to it but it will have a real crazy color. :evillol:

I've finished up the suspension for the most part,

Decided to go with a more subtle color, it's Ford's Medium Charcoal Metallic. Sorry for the crappy pics my camera's about to die.

Patience Grasshopper, patience.
Forums aren't always that busy that you get instant feedback.

Looks to be a great model so far. I like the color!

The Pea Shooter that came with the kit was'nt going to cut it, so I made a new muffler today,

Lil'budman

Nice exhuast!

I took some scrap aluminum tubing I had laying around, I found two pieces,one that had a smaller diameter than the other, and I stuck the smaller diameter one inside the larger one. Thats all there is to it.

Lil'budman
