As good - or as bad - as TFATF was as a movie, I have to give it credit for injecting a lot of new life into both the real car hobby and the model car hobby. And anything that sends a shot of adrenaline into the hobby is OK by me.

Best regards,

You can get the EG hatch by hasegawa, then put the front of it on the revell Ek coupe, and you can always shorten the tail lights with some putty. I was going to do this, but did'nt have enough money you buy 2 kits at the time.

Right O! That isn't a '96 civic. But, it's not a '95 either. It's actually a '93, and they made no coupe in '92. So technically you can't say the civic coupe is a '92-'95 model, cause there was no '92 model. But that's just me being technical.

Anyway, the body kit is a VIS kit, as well as the the hood, and the wing. You can see all about it on the VIS web site.

As for no one making a '93-'95 coupe model, I was very pissed about this as well. So I made my own. I took the Revell civic coupe tuner 2'n1, and chopped off the front clip. Then I took the Tamiya (I think) curbside '92-'95 hatchback, and I molded the front clip to the Revell kit. I also did the interior pieces. So, now I have a '95 civic coupe (for the most part) with engine and all. I can post some pics if you'd like.

(I'm also working on putting the revell front end on the tamiya model, kinda' like some people are doing now in real life)
