My first car was a 1995 Honda Civic Coupe. It was never modeled as a coupe. There were models of the hatchback and 4 door. When I saw that USCP made a trans kit to build a coupe, I couldn’t buy it fast enough!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kit arrived but had the wrong interior. They quickly sent me the correct piece. Otherwise, the details were excellent. The starting point for this kit was a Hasegawa Civic SiR hatchback. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the wheels, I bought a set of Buddy Club resin wheels which are fairly close to the Kosei K1 wheels I had on my 1 to 1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The body was painted with automotivetouchup.com Milano Red paint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interior was quick work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearly ready for final assembly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in the, I ran a hood bra and actually found a resin version in scale. I had to use it to finish the look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The finished model is an excellent approximation of the 1:1 that I had. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
