Re: PROGRESS: 95 Eclipse (F&F)
I just realized how the title of this thread could be misleading. this is an AMT F&F kit, but i filled in the holes for the wing and sanded off the hood pins and I am in the process of painting the car Saphire Blue with metal flake(Model Masters). i have also painted the wheels white (Tamiya). Other than that, im keepin it box stock. the body should be ready to be polished tomarrow so I'll update then.

Re: PROGRESS: 95 Eclipse (F&F)
no, so I've heard the AMT eclipse is shit engine wise, not a 4g63, it has the neon motor in it. The revell metal body plastic build up kit has the correct turbo-ed 4g63 engine. I can post pics of mine, if you'd like. BTW, CAV, did you clear coat your rims?

Re: PROGRESS: 95 Eclipse (F&F)
yeah, i am less than impressed with the detail under the hood. but i got the kit for $8 so i cant complain...
p.s. Im gonna post some pics of the body freshly painted later today p.p.s. i didnt clear coat the rims, i just put 4 coats of X-2 for a more convincing white

as i promised, here are some body shots. its not quite dry enough to dry fit and see how it'll look with the white wheels. I'd just like to thank P-Man for his wonderful tutorials, this woulndt be possible without them...
   I only wish you guys could see how beautiful that color is, but my digi cam is garbage...

Re: PROGRESS: 95 Eclipse (F&F)
CAV, pearl clear coat them rims and the body, and you'll have a work of art, the paint looks very nice as is, but would look better IMHO.

Re: PROGRESS: 95 Eclipse (F&F)
i made some springs for it today
 but when i tried to dry fit them onto the frame, i found that there was no room between the wheel well and the strut so it wont fit with the springs on, im thinkin about grinding it out until it fits, or maybe just cut a whole in the frame for them to fit.
