Special thanks to my good friend Joey for leading me to the store that sells this rare kit :sunglasse on my 3 day visit to HK last April 20.

It comes with 18" rims and low profile tires, and the decals are in excellent condition no yellow stains at all, better than the other ferio that I have.:smokin: It's going to be a long build, coz this is an out of production kit made by hasegawa long ago, so I'll use a little caution on building this kit.
More pics soon!!

Excellent, I will watch with interest as I have this kit in my pile to build. Pictures I have seen of built up versions of this look stunning. I think there are some other liveries available from Hasegawa for this which are also very rare.
I would be very interested to know which color you will be using, or if you have to mix your own up?

Nice pickup. Hasegawa have so many hidden jems in their backcatalogue. I wish they'd reissue them more regularly

Rarely was a truer word spoken.
Come on Hasegawa, do the decent thing...

I really like the PIAA EG8/EG9 ferio can't find any in HK.

Thanks, I'll definitely mix the paint.:)

Thanks, I really wish hasegawa reissued a lot of their JTCC civics EG6 and EG9's so I'll never worry on messing up this kit and regret it my entire life. :)
as I said before, this is going to be a slow and long build coz I'm still finishing a spoon EG6 at the moment, dont want to mess things up.

thats a great find! A problem with that is the suspension though, it comes with stock suspension pieces which makes it sit like a 4x4. you will need to make a lot of modifications to the wheel arches to get the 18s to tuck in like the real JTCC car

that sucks. for my JACCS version, it did come with the stock suspension too but the mounting points on the wheel hubs were offset so that the car would look lower. i don't recall if the wheels tuck though.
