This is a curbside from the AMT kit, just had to change the tires and wheels from the kit to these. They are Pegasus sleeves w/ the Revell Honda Civic rims. Paint is Tamiya Black w/ Odds and Ends clear, polished and waxed...

Wow!
Great looking model!

I was wondering if you put on a slick paint job and better rims if that car would look killer.... you proved it!! Nice job!

Thanks guys, what's funny is that there was a guy on another forum stating that these rims were too big, obviously he has not seen the ones in the kit!!!

Once i opened this kit, i knew i would never build it. Just maybe steal the motor from it.
Any engine shots? The wheels came out great, i love pagasus sleeves. Its a shame they're getting harder and harder to find now.

PS Did you have to make the rims smaller in order to fit into the sleeves?

Wow!! nicely done.....the paint looks a little thick but still very shiny and glossy!!
Nicely executed...never seen this at my lhs.

It's a curbside, sorry no engine. I did have to sand the plastic rims to get them in there...Thanks!
