Hi all 

 

Straight onto the next one!

I used to own a MK4 Prelude. Loved that car. After seeing John's Prelude build it got me thinking was there a model of the MK4 and there was!

 

Have to admit the first one I managed to win on eBay was this one which is exactly what my car looked like.

Now I know the tyres were missing but unfortunately so were a couple more bits and the model itself was not in very good condition. So when I saw the Aoshima version come up I snapped it up!

 

Good thing about that is that the model is in excellent condition and with tyres! 🙂. It also has the boot spoiler that my Prelude had but which isn't part of the revell kit so that was a welcome bonus. It also gives me a spare body ton practice on. Two reasons. One I could not find a spray can to match the Brittany blue green colour but I did find the following:

Which hopefully can give me the right colour. 

 

Second reason is I bought these to replicate my number plate

And if you look at the rear of the model

And compare it with a UK car

You can see that the number plate area is too tall and not wide enough so I need to do something like this

Widen it to the red lines and lower it to the blue. Surgery is required! Thus the good thing about having a spare body to practice on! 😉

 

Question : what can I use to fill the gaps? I do have some putty but trying to sand it down and make it straight in such an awkward area is going to be tricky...

 

So until I solve that problem I'll start on the colour testing.

 

Sorry about the essay! Thanks for looking.
