Got my first Civic coupe today!!!

As if i didn't need more projects to work on!

With thanks to Antonio, i got this today. First impression is that it's a nice kit, the rims are particularly good. I shall be getting to work on a bodykit for it soon. I've got some ideas myself, but would like to know wot u guy's think so feel free to post your suggestions - with a pic please. I shall be getting another coupe shortly to work on aswell, I think i'll keep you all guessing on what i finally decide on this one again though. MAAAHHAAAWWWAAAAHHHAAHAHAHAHA :finger:

Nice, I got an email from Tower Hobbies leting me know the Mitsubishi Eclipse is now in stock, so I went to order to find they will not ship outside the US because : Quote

This item is classified as flammable. Due to regulations, orders containing flammable items may not be shipped via priority shipping methods which use aircraft such as international shipping, 1-Day Express, or 2-Day Express.

I guess many things are flammable if you set light to it But i don't know of any cases involving model kits that spontaneously combust

The Civic is a little disappointing in some areas. There are sink marks in the sides of the rear quarter panels, top of the deck lid and the rear bumper doesn't fit to the body well at all.

Yeah, and the freakin' screw bosses on the body for the bloody screw-together chassis are two of the biggest causes of sink marks on the body.

No stock headlight covers. Screw together chassis. Sink marks. Poorly fitting custom parts.

It's an okay kit, but it does not raise the bar at all compared to the ITR. The ITR is a better kit. And the custom body kit on the hatch? Yikes...

Thanks Revell. :rocket:

Thats because there are very little Revell kits here. Agent does not really want to bring them in and all those at his place are 1/24 this is a 1/25. Thanks to him I had to order mine from the internet.
