Fujimi RX-8 Progress
Following on from the kit photos thread http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul....php?p=1197534
This is the progress so far :
1st Picture shows the putty required to get the front bumper right.





So far it's been lowered by 2mm and had a 19 inch rims conversion done. Vent in front wings cut open.
Enjoy

Looking good, those 19's fit it well. The body looks decent...just make sure you tint the windows really good if you're staying w/the stock seats etc. I'm still in shock how truly bad the interior is after combing through reference pics.

I'm building the RX-7 Spirit R...it's a better kit than the RX-8

Cool
I don't know what the Aero version looks like, but where they cut that front end mold is right where it needs to be cut for a Mazdaspeed conversion. That thing wear's 19's like it was born with them!

Looks stunning! I'm still hoping that Tamiya will make a version of it though.

The kit seems to be a little off to me. The head light section is too narrow, or something else.
I like it so far.

body looks a little long, and Im not a fan of the 4 door design. or 2 door and 2 suicide or whatever, I think itd flow better as a 2 door. But who am I talking to that will make a differnce.... Exactly....

But anyways, looks sweet dude, rims are tight. Cant wait to see this one finished.
