Looks great.

No offense but your pinky bends to a disturbing angle.

Yay!! Clear reverse lights!!

And love the Champ.White. Don't see that color enough, IMO.

Looks great for the brush-painted parts. If you pick up a simple cheap-o airbrush and smooth out that interior paint, you'll be on fire!!

Very nice. Next time give a go at painting the window rubbers. It can be difficult, but is very worthwhile in finishing a model. It's quite feasible without an airbrush; careful masking and a few very light coats from a spray can will do it. You certainly have the potential, the rest of the kit is very well built.

Fantastic work for your first model! WOW.
As you continue to build your skills will grow too. As the guys mentioned, doing the window rubbers will really make the car pop, something you may want to try on your next build.
Maybe when you are comfortable with that you can try adding panel lines which will give the model another pop of realism. These as I said will eventually come to you as you grow in your builds and skills. You are already off to a smashing start! You are only going to get better!
I look forward to your next build!
Chris

Looks great, finishing a model is not an easy feat. I really like your attention to details. Other than what has been mentioned I can only add to paint the inner wheel wells as I find it distracts the eye a little. Keep up the modeling and looking forward to more completed projects.

Mike.

Re: my first model... Revell* Acura Integra Type R... Alot of pics

Indeed, fantastic work for a first build. A couple of suggestions...

As mentioned, finishing the window trim will really bring out the body's colour. You can mask and spray it as he said, but there are other methods. I happen to use a Sharpie marker with some masking, myself. Judging from your interior detail, you have a real steady hand with the brush, so I suspect you'd do great with the Sharpie method!

The interior detail is fantastic, and I a gree the seats look great. You can see brush marks on the package tray however--in a future build, try spraying as much of the interior as you can instead of brushing it--makes a huge difference.

Engine bay looks great!

looks good, can't think of much from what the other guys added other then some photo tips ... when you take some more pics of it ... step further back and zoom in .. doing that will help your focus a lot more then being real close to it ...
