Completed C-West RX-7
http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4290604291

Aoshima's FD3S... turns out that I completed this model before my s2000.. turned out ok as my first model, but I had quite a challenge. First of all, fitment is a big issue with this kit. Front bumper and headlamps don't fit really well.... but good thing I sprayed the car black so it's not that apparent. Decals .... I still dont know whether I made a good decision to add them... the clear parts show up very clearly on black..... but other than these problems.. this was a rather fun experience.. hope I won't screw up the s2000

comments, critiques, suggestions are all welcome

Nice work! I'm a sucker for gold wheels on a black car. I still want to see your S2000 with the mugen wheels on if you would indulge me.

well... I guess the fitment problem isn't really a problem to more experienced modelers, but overall, this kit has some pretty good detail and quality. The Advan RG's are to die for

The wing is a little too high for my taste, but other than that it is very nice. I like it.

The wheels are a bit small imo... I think they're like 16"?
I have no idea how to lower this car... or any other model for that matter? When you look at it side view, it looks like a 4x4!!!

16"??? they're 18! and they look it too! the Fujimi ones might be the crappy ones you're thinking of, but the Aoshima versions (of which i have 2 sets) are spot-on if you ask me. my favourite wheel in real life! too bad they're O.O.P....
