No can do, man. The putty's still fresh, won't dry fully until tomorrow morning. I've test fitted the headlight lens and they are pretty tight, have to sand the body down alittle.

Oops, sorry to confuse you there. The one on the left used to be a Revell ITR with the 4 round headlights. I've converted it to the Japanese front according to the one on the right. By Mugen, I put a Mugen bumper and side skirt on the Revell ITR. Hope this clear things up

looking good, can't wait to see it finished. I decided to take the other route though and I'm installing a resin cast of the type-r engine in the fujimi ITR kit. In your case, most of the hard work is on shaping the body, mine is on shaping the engine bay

I wonder who has a harder job? Don't forget the pictures when you're done! btw, what color is it going to be?

Thanks for comments everyone.

bri g: I can't say mine was hard work, just time consuming. You'll have to work around the engine being 1/25 scale. And making a whole new engine bay.....shouldn't be too hard, just use some styrene sheets as base. Since I'm not using the engine for the Revell model, it'll be going into the fujimi one (the right one in the picture). I've already got the engine mounts completed. Please post some pics of how you'll fit the engine when you are doing it.

I'm keeping my Revell ITR white for a pure Mugen look.

Mugen rear spoiler mount added, front bumper still need more work, but it's getting there. Also added side markers, the hood it fixed, but not 100%

I appreciate the work but I am still lost, why did you put the mugen front end on the integra instead of just buying the mugen version?

if its for the engine, why did'nt you just put the revell engine into the already mugen integra?

turbos86 · #14 07-13-2002, 02:50 AM

OK, sorry to be confusing.
For those who haven't been following my post, here's the deal.
I have 1 Revell ITR, and 1 Fujumi Mugen ITR
The plan is to transplant the Revell ITR engine into the Fujimi.
The mugen parts will go over to the Revell.
Fujimi version is for my Initial D ITR project with engine details
and the Revell is a challenge for myself.
I'm trying to be different, since everyone is modding their Revell ITR, I've decided to do a JDM conversion for it.

ahhhhh, weird, but nice work.
