Revell RSX project derice

Hey,

I stripped the body today and wetsanded down the plastic bumpers.
K20 motor for you honda groupies...

I don't really like those rims. Or the kit for that matter. Paint is undecided now. And maybe it will be rice after all. You'll see

Revell's upcoming plastic RSX Type S should be relatively rice-free. It's not even listed as a tuner. It's apparently the '05 style.

Let's hope everything comes out like that

Looks like a Mugen hood with a Veilside body kit

If only they could've gone all Mugen

, I guess thats an easy modification.

Yea. I reaaaaaally don't like those rims. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'll trade you these for anything else. Well...maybe anything.

I cut up the suspension to lower it. Revell molded the front A arms to the skid plate? under the engine. They were so easy to cut off. Rear suspension, I just cut some material off. The metal revell used for this and the wrx kit is very thin. Much better then a maisto diecast. The metal seems to be the same thickness as the plastic bumpers.

wow I want that motor.. it hasn't come up in stores here yet, WI so i'ma have to wait... is the body plastic or die cast.. looks plastic?? And those wheels.. their so skinny and the tires don't even look low pro... the stock RSX does sound promising...

Revell sometimes makes me laugh. sometimes. like now. poor Revell. can't wait for that plastic RSX kit though.

Horrse,

The tires are low profile, it's just the way the pic is. They are not the same tires from the earlier tuner kits tho. A little thicker, sidewall wise. The main body is diecast. The bumpers, mirros and such are plastic.

DementedKindness · 07-28-2005, 02:55 AM

Where did u buy it and is it a diecast model kit? like all molded together..

ZoomZoomMX-5 · 07-28-2005, 07:18 AM

The body is thin diecast and the bumpers are plastic.

When the plastic RSX kit comes out the basic "guts" (engine/chassis/interior/glass) will be from this kit, it will have a plastic body and new bumpers and lenses and I assume stock wheels/tires.

These kits are a bit expensive at about $21 retail, though many can manage to sneak them out at Hobby Lobby for 1/2 off their price which is about $9 or $10. I'm sure the plastic kit will be a bit cheaper, and will be plentiful at Hobby Lobby.

I got it at walmart for $14.

ZoomZoomMX-5 · 07-28-2005, 10:49 AM

I picked up a few Revell WRX's for $9 each from a guy who had no luck trying to sell them to his normal "old school" clientele. Good parts kits. I hope they go plastic w/the WRX or STi. I have an AMT Brat that's getting the WRX engine/drivetrain and assorted goodies
