In Progess "Aero" RX8
Kit arrived just before Xmas so I thought I'd make a start on it.
I think the quality of the kit has been commented on previously so I won't say anymore  So far have started to open up the rear grille & exhaust exits (not very clear in the photo) and made plastic card side skirts. I'll probably do some more work on the rear bumper and possibly change the front but I haven't decided what to do yet. Anyway here it is in it's red plastic glory

Re: In Progess "Aero" RX8
I've seen those rims on quite a few models and they always look perfect, yet I was always too lazy to ask what kind they were..?

A bit more progress - I've filled in the lower gap in the front grill and finished opening up the rear.As the side skirts looked a bit boring imo -I've changed them to the ones off the Accord Wings West Wagon - just need to fix the gap at the front of the skirt.
  PS/ the neon underglow is just the red plastic
