Here is the kit I'm taking on vacation. I bought this from modelmasterbruce. I figured since it was a curbside it would make a great vacation kit. Hope to have it all done but the body. Here's what I'm starting with. No Rocko you can't have it.  Body in primer for now.  |

Hey Bobby. I never figured you'd go for the small imports. Good choice though.
Alex.

I wanted something that didn'thave lots of parts. It was either this or the AMT Lexus that I have. Always liked these pocket rockets. Going to be Med Garnet Red Met on top and Silver Frost on bottom. Poss a grey interior. Lots of paint detail and I'm thinking about adding some fuel lines and poss brake lines. Stole the fire ext and NOS bottle from AMT Eclipse.

I will have pics up soon. Didn't get it completed but I made lots of progress. I ran into a delay on the exhaust. The kit exhaust just didn't fit right or look right. Couldn't find alum tubing in Wyoming so I had to wait until I got home to add that.

Looks good. I usually replace my kit exhaust using the same method.

Going for just a mild tuner. No wings or body kits. Plan to have a NOS bottle in back. Bought an Integra for the tires and wheels.

Here is an update on the CRX. Chassis is complete except brakes and wheels.  Got the two tone paint on & black trim around window.  Don't laugh at the next pics. First real attempt at BMF. Did the backdrop for tail lights and parking lights. BMF'd the emblems and colored the raised area with a red sharpie. Not the best but it's all new to me.   |

Hi,Bobby.I like the idea of felt to replace flocking and those details are looking very good.
