Mugen Civic EG6 SiR
The Unicorn

Scale:: 1:24
Status:: In progress
Started:: October 1, 2021

The decals are unusable, so doing an SiR replica with some period mods.

This car has also become my "unicorn", destined to never be the model I'd envisaged. Painting the body has become a nightmare, with some thing always going wrong - Insects, dust, stand falling over, bad tape, paint bleed, paint to thin, you name it.

Painting and assembly. Body still needs some tidying, and bonnet resprayed.

Ducksnuts
Everything was just going wrong with body. Paint fails and somehow an A-Pillar cracked.
So opened a second kit to start a fresh body. A thorough sanding, primer down and base coat of TS-63.
I have another idea planned for the trashed body.
