Honda don't have any nsx in the uk at this point so the paint code hasn't been put out yet but by early 2017 they should have it, if you can wait that long that is.

Thanks for that Shaun. Not in an immediate rush to start it, but if I did, I could leave the bodywork till last. I emailed Honda direct yesterday, but not had a response so far, your investigation may be wht. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long haired david Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Just bought the Tamiya Alfa 155 V6Ti Jaegermeister kit. What do you reckon that this description of the kit means? (Grin)."DTM dedicated reproduction machine realistically Motor sports and involvement each other is deep German brewer, made ??Jaegermeister is the main sponsor, it is the machine which entered from shoe Bell Engineering of Germany to DTM (German Touring Car Championship).

arni Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 A Monogram kit.. The B is rather nice. The orange is for the Transit,the blue - whatever and the a/brush for shells etc - it is a replacement for a damaged unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shood23 Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Just picked up these today Tamiya ferrari f2001 full view. I have a pretty good idea what I want to do with this, full detail more so than the super detail set gives with maybe a half and half paint job Then this fujimi porsche 94' lemans car. Maybe a nice addition for the 94' lemans dauer 962 in the higher class Then something that is really not my sort of thing. A bburago jaguar e type metal kit, from the search I did before buying it it looks to be pretty well detailed but the pre painted Body is what puts me off alot of these metal kits as I will most probably strip it and start it over again but for a tenner I couldn't say no Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roymattblack Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 The Burago E Type is actually pretty good for a cheapie kit. Here's mine from a few years back (£5 kit from Modelzone closing down) A bit of BMF around the windows, bonnet top edges and headlamps, some wires in the engine and paint on the interior and firewall. It was a quickie build - a few evenings - but it looks nice. Roy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
