Progress: Honda CRX Si
Well i just started this one last night. It is the 1:24 scale model from Fujimi. The molding was shocking, but then again it was very cheap.
 I decided that if it was going to be a racer like it is supposed to be i better get the weight down, so i wanted to take some trim out. This looked like a lot of hassle so i made a new interior instead from sheet styrene. The old interior is in the background. If the door panels look a bit weird it is because i decided to make them very minimal with a wire door handle like in the F40. Colour will probably be met. blue and i was thinking of doing an undercoat of green and try and get that to show through a thin layer of met. blue. The wheels are ENKEI RP-F1s.

Hmm, I have this kit ant the molds seemed very good for the price. But then again, it seems thas some of fujimi's kits are very good and some are like crap... every kit seems to be a little different.

Re: Progress: Honda CRX Si
Thats cool, with the new interior and all, why don't you get a Revel B16, and pop it in there. I'm insenuating that it is curbside?

 It was a really big off set. About 1mm. And in some places the mold lines were about 0.5mm high.The worst 2 areas are in red rings. Maybe not that easy to see in the pic after i have sanded a little.

A bit of an update of the interior. Sprayed the inside with Testors "chrome", seats and dash with Tamiya S-G black and the roll cage, which i scratch built today, sprayed with Tamiya gun-metal.

Re: Progress: Honda CRX Si
This is looking VERY nice. I realy dig the stripped interior. Great work on everything so far. My molding of this kit is as bad as yours, so you're not crazy! Anyway, I am very interested in how this thing turns out. Keep us posted!
