1:1 Replica, Which kit to start with?

Hi all,

I've got a Honda Legend Coupe and unfortunatly there aren't any kits of the car.

Now I want to scratchbuild the model from a similar based existing kit.

I was thinking about the Nissan Skyline R33 but maybe you guys got some better options.

Here's my car:

















Hope you guys know a good kit to begin with.

A Prelude? Porsche GT3 wheels...
That's a very nice example, I only see those in sad shape here.

I agree an R33 but you could also get a Honda NSX, it might work but would take plenty of time!

without meaning to sound too obvious but I reckon some kind of Accord/Prelude chop might be the best way to go.

Re: 1:1 Replica, Which kit to start with?

Silvia or Prelude/accord would be too small.


My car has these dimensions:
Length 4890 mm 192.5 in
Width 1811 mm 71.3 in
Height 1364 mm 53.7 in
Wheelbase 2830 mm 111.4 in

Prelude:
Length 4440 mm 174.8 in
Width 1765 mm 69.5 in
Height 1290 mm 50.8 in
Wheelbase 2550 mm 100.4 in

Skyline:
Length 4580 mm 180.3 in
Width 1725 mm 67.9 in
Height 1340 mm 52.8 in
Wheelbase 2665 mm 104.9 in


Maybe I can better use a soarer:

Soarer:
Length 4900 mm 192.9 in
Width 1805 mm 71.1 in
Height 1350 mm 53.1 in
Wheelbase 2690 mm 105.9 in
