First Post, in progress Amemiya RX-8

Being built box stock with some small detailing. Was kind of depressed by the lack of details all around but i have come to understand that is normal.

Interior shot, still working on front seats and dash.

Sorry for the poor lighting. Added chrome lip to the wheels because i felt that they were too plain.

Closer wheel shot

Not painted body wise but the plan is for yellow. Am building this to give to a friend and he liked the yellow color when the car was first introduced.

Thanks for viewing
Chad

Re: First Post, in progress Amemiya RX-8

the interior paint looks perfect, i love the chrome lip on the black rims, just makes it look sooo sweet. sorry to hear there's not much detail, i've never built an RX-8. looks good so far, keep it up !

Hi Debersole,
welcome to the AF-family

Paint the car yellow, the black rims will suit it verry well!

They included an optional dash decal set which was red lettering on a blue background. I am going to do the radio details and i hope to get the body in color today if the weather holds out for me.

Re: First Post, in progress Amemiya RX-8

Hi there!!!!! So, finally the Mazda RX-8 is showing his "nouse".
I love that car, and I'm totally in love with it noise... So, I like your work, and the fact is your build for another person, that add some affection to the build...

BTW, how do you make the lips of the rims????
