rosso 1/12 nsx

[dada man]

Hey guys. Its been a while since posting a build here.

I didn't plan on ever buying a 1/12 nsx as the price are just way out. However this came up for a good price and i couldn't say no. It was a build kit but that's never a problem by me. I stripped the car and fortunately the owner before this only use 5 drops of glue on the whole car. the rest of the parts were just fitted together. The kit itself is a really good kit. Lots of details to it and nice features that make it stand out compared to other kits. As the build goes on I will keep you guys updated about the kit as well as the build.

heres what it looked like when i got it.



and what i plan to do (similar)

some more on the motor. Now that most of it is ready I can start some of the wiring and plumbing

[bradfordian]

Very convincing engine!

[Emilssi]

Wow! The engine looks better than the real thing!!!! Well done. What paints did you use on it?

I will watch your build with interest and hopefully it will convince me to finally start mine

[dino246gt]

That engine looks fantastic! I've always wanted this kit, but like you am waiting for a cheap one, and waiting and waiting.... But it looks like it may be worth full price! I'll be watching for more updates, love it so far!

[dada man]

thanks guys.

for now this is what i got up to. I decided to make the suspension movable since its going to be super low.




chassis painted




and started with some details

[stump]

Woohoo, nice work on the chassis/suspension Raees.
Mate, I just spotted this here, sorry. I don't get in here often enough. Have seen it @ SPC though.

[nugundam93]

[dada man]

lol its not a problem Greg.

Im about 85% complete with the front section.

[bradfordian]

You put a lot of effort into that detailing.

[dada man]

I tried my best.


ok so I have finally completed the front section. once I finish the suspension ill put the battery and spare wheel in. This is about two weeks work just for the front section.
