Red DC2(J)

I am done with another curbside model, and my LAST DC2 Integra. I am really pleased with the way this model turned out. This is my first model completed since joining AF, and all your tips helped. From painting to polishing, painting weather strips, etc. The car has a Testors silver base coat, then sprayed Testors Bright Red. After an hour in the dehydrator, I accidently sprayed it with Testors clear flat.:( So I polished the body to get it shiny, and it worked. I added window trim, bare metal foil to the head and tail lights, and Scale Motorsports plain weave carbon fiber to the hood. The body was sealed in Dupli Color clear and polished. Wheels are from the Revell ITR, Detail Master Guages inside, and a custom made exhaust. I left the spoiler off for a clean look, and yes the front wheels do turn. I truly believe this is a great forum and everyone can benifit from it. Cheers to you all!
Now, on with the pictures.

That's an Integra I'd love to own in real life! Great model! :bandit:

Wow! That's really nice!:)

Thanks. I was trying to use different lighting to create better pics. I guess I need a better camera.

Thats one of the best looking Fujimi ITR's i have seen...the only way it could be better was if it had the mugen front end on it..J/k Thats a damn fine job you did there..got the stance perfect..and the paint looks great.

Later
Gray

:eek: :eek: ok i hate itrs ALOT but that has just made me change my mind, that is the best looking itr i have ever seen. well done son

awesome job. looks fantastic. :D

that is sweet

i vote for you to be president!!! once again amazing :D

Really nice! I'm looking forward to finishing mine! How hard was it to lower it? Any pics on how you did?

Looks fantastic.

I have to agree with the other comments so far....that has to be one of the nicest i have seen built so far.
The differance between the black hood/redbody and white wheels is great and really sets it off.

nice stuff.......i want that kit :)

WOW! Thats bad ass! Awsome job, thats my taste!

Stunning...simple yet sporty...by the way, i think something is wrong with the position of the steering wheel...

Thanks everyone. It was about a four week project. As far as lowering goes, I modified the wheels and brakes so they tuck in the fenders. All of the stock suspension peices were used.

Fantastic looking model you have made there!

I'm in love whith it:flash:
Excellent work;)

That's really nice there, very subtle too...great look, great stance, resisted the urge to add a huge rear spoiler. Which proves sometimes that less is more. This is probably the best Fujimi ITR I've seen.

Nice ITR.:)
Any more tips on how you mod the wheels and brakes:confused:

Beauty! nice choice of colours!
Well done! :)

looks awsome, what did you use for the exhaust?

That has got to be the nicest itr I have seen on this site, and yes, I HAVE seen the ones with body kits ;)
I would never imagine it was fujimi.

Is it type R? if so, the corners of the tial lights should'nt be orange. But it's okay, it looks nicer like that!

I agree with everybody here, that is one of the nicest JDM integs I have seen. I built one 2 years ago but yours inspires me to build another one with a more "updated look"

I like the color, it really goes! I have to say, it's pretty crazy without the spoiler!

You've got questions, I've got answers. Modifying the brakes and wheels aren't that difficult. Most Fujimi kits have brakes with a little spacer in the center which allows the wheels to spend freely. I had to sand down the center portion of the brakes so it would sit flush against the center portion of the wheel. Both front and back. It's pretty much trail and error.

The exhaust was made with two BIC mechanical pencils. I used the part that holds the eracer. If you look at it, the top half looks like an exhaust canister, the part right under that looks like the tip. Put the two together and you have the exhaust. Of course you have to break the pencil to seperate the part you need. Take off the eracer, empty out the lead, and break the piece right above where the lead clicks out of. The top half should be free, and you get new springs. Glue the two eracer ends together, cut to desired length, add some putty to the middle where the two connected, sand, spray with chrome paint (if desired) then add bare metal foil. I usually polish the foil once applied so I can get a realistic chrome look. That's all, just a little imagination.

im catching up on your models today spoonman. Im really feelin that teg. clean, solid, and realistic as hell. great work!

looks pimp ass without a wing

I am so suprised to see this old thread floating around. This was one of my first few threads started when I joined AF. I guess I'll have to take some updated pics of all of my cars now that I'm somewhat of a better photographer. Thanks again for the comments everyone.
