I don't really like those rims. Or the kit for that matter. Paint is undecided now. And maybe it will be rice after all. You'll see

nice man, dericing that integra

Revell's upcoming plastic RSX Type S should be relatively rice-free. It's not even listed as a tuner. It's apparently the '05 style.

Let's hope everything comes out like that;)

Looks like a Mugen hood with a Veilside body kit:thumbsdow

If only they could've gone all Mugen:(, I guess thats an easy modification.

Yea. I reaaaaaally don't like those rims. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'll trade you these for anything else. Well...maybe anything.

I cut up the suspension to lower it. Revell molded the front A arms to the skid plate? under the engine. They were so easy to cut off. Rear suspension, I just cut some material off. The metal revell used for this and the wrx kit is very thin. Much better then a maisto diecast. The metal seems to be the same thickness as the plastic bumpers.

wow I want that motor.. it hasn't come up in stores here yet, WI so i'ma have to wait... is the body plastic or die cast.. looks plastic?? And those wheels.. their so skinny and the tires don't even look low pro... the stock RSX does sound promising...

Revell sometimes makes me laugh. sometimes. like now. poor Revell. can't wait for that plastic RSX kit though.

Horrse,

The tires are low profile, it's just the way the pic is. They are not the same tires from the earlier tuner kits tho. A little thicker, sidewall wise. The main body is diecast. The bumpers, mirros and such are plastic.

whooooo! Kseries! i want one on my civic...lolz!

Good start...

WooHoo 800th post...

oh damn.....time to buy the model just for the motor. hahaha.

Where did u buy it and is it a diecast model kit? like all molded together..

The body is thin diecast and the bumpers are plastic.

When the plastic RSX kit comes out the basic "guts" (engine/chassis/interior/glass) will be from this kit, it will have a plastic body and new bumpers and lenses and I assume stock wheels/tires.

These kits are a bit expensive at about $21 retail, though many can manage to sneak them out at Hobby Lobby for 1/2 off their price which is about $9 or $10. I'm sure the plastic kit will be a bit cheaper, and will be plentiful at Hobby Lobby.

I got it at walmart for $14.

I picked up a few Revell WRX's for $9 each from a guy who had no luck trying to sell them to his normal "old school" clientele. Good parts kits. I hope they go plastic w/the WRX or STi. I have an AMT Brat that's getting the WRX engine/drivetrain and assorted goodies :naughty: .

$9!!!! I was lucky enough to get one at the NNL for $12. Mr. Sexton, the dude from revell, said the STi is definate. He also said plastic version is 75% likely...They better make this. If you honda guys can get the RSX, I want my dam Suby!!

Ok. I couldn't escape the rice:(
the plastic parts wont dry right
they keep fogging..
they are somewhat at a gloss..
but the color is foggy
o well :frown:

....Dam hondas...

That color is sick! How did u do that???

Did you prime the bumpers and the body?

I laid a flat black 1st coat. That acted as my primer. Then painted a light coat of duplicolor colorshift, then a coat of tamiya colorshift, and a different tamiya colorshift. Then duplicolor clear.

that look really cool, nice work on the paintjob

nice paint!

Which Revell kit is it? (kit number)? Lookin' kool! Put on a set of phat Dubs!!

nice chameleon color going on. gonna go look around for this model tomorrow.

Colorshift looks cool :smokin:

Say goodbye to the RSX..It will see you all soon someday in a completed thread by ImolaEK. This kit is going to Joeham to start its new life. He can appreciate it more then I can.
