You could get away with the rear lights as they are, just go for the Euro Clears!
Like Warren said, paint the window glass. It's a case of masking of with Tamiya masking tape, and be patient, then adding 3 coats of semi gloss black auto paint, each one very fine, almost a mist!
I just did my Celica, and it took an hour to mask! I love the newer kits that have the masks included!
But it was worth it, it's perfect!

I just started that model today. Its ok all i have to say is Revell quality. I mean, its better then most of their models, 4 sets of rims, 3 different spoilers and different bumpers. I dont liek haveing to glue the body together but oah well. I have been doing models for awhile and this model is pretty hard to find. I found one of them at the local Hobbytown. sdadlani (who lives about 2 minutes from me) is doing the same one and since this is one of his first models im goin to show him how to do it ( what a good friend I am ) HeHe. Mine will also be yellow with gunmetal rims I think.

WHats everones favorite glue? Im using ZAP ca glue and it tends to be a pain in the @$$. DONT GET IT ON YOUR FINGERS, it bonds quickly. hahaha.

Josh

PS-Ill post pics of the progress as soon as i can find the cable for my digital camera.

LOCTITE Super glue that bonds in seconds

I don't mind Zap, as it's gap filling qualities work well on models.
Just apply with a cocktail stick, don't bring the bottle anywhere near a model!

This integ model is pretty nice for Revell. I went to a huge local hobby shop and I almost sh1t on myself when i saw the prices for Tamiya Primer. $7 a can! And they are not whopping cans. I was like WoAh. Yea. I spent about $70 on modeling stuff. I got a Tamiya Skyline R33 i think, Tamiya paints, brushes, putty, a lot of glueeeeeeee and thats about it. Fun and expensive hobby. Oah well i enjoy it so thats all that matters...right ?

Oah back to the integra. I am also planning on rollbar/cage, custom made out of the part trees and putting a racing seat form another type r i HAD (i screwed up pretty bad).

Revell doesn't have the copyright for Canada, so its so what rare up here!
