Question good brand for Acura/Honda

What company/brand makes the best Acura/Honda plastic car models? I know Revell-Monogram and Testor make great aircraft carrier models(the only type of plastic models i've built haha) but do they make nice looking car models? Thanks in advance. Lates!

look for Fujimi and Tamiya
afaik Revell makes only Integra Type R (but it's very good kit with engine details)
You can see it in AF model gallery (link on the top)

and Fujimi made a third gen Prelude also

Fujimi will be releasing the Euro Accord Type-R pretty soon too

Wow, I'm confused
Why do you guys call them 4th gen, 3rd gen...etc and not call them by their model name?
Civic: EF, EG, EK..
Integra: DB, DC..
like that?

Because I don't know them all for Hondas. :o I could actually spit out model years better than I could do model codes.

LOL, I know all the Nissans, though. That make them so easy...

hehehe~ I'm a toyota nut and their model codes are pretty organize too!
I like the way Japanese people talk about cars, they only use codes. For example, they would say, "Wow! what a sweet looking AE86 you got there" or like "Is that a B18C5 you got there in your DC2R"....hehehe
and here's a Nissan one for Jay "My NSX can kick your RB26DETT powered BNR33's a**"

Here's one of them: Tamiya no. 24032


But you're right, it's not listed on HLJ...

I'm 75% sure there's another one, but I can't find the pic at the moment...

edit: here's a link to a completed auction for the Fujimi one that Phil mentioned, but I still think there's another Tamiya one...

Unfortunately, there isn't another Tamiya. One after that was Aoshima's previous gen model, and was the last Prelude kit.
