Honda City Turbo a little faded weatered
This looked like a fun model, We don't have Honda City cars in the US but I saw an old ratty CRX running around town and used it for my color and weathering choices. The car is totally stock except for bearings. I did it quick over a few evenings and was pretty happy with the results. Still a few details to add like license plates and wipers and maybe a simple interior to hide the wires. I'll post some better outdoor action pics when I get out to drive it in the near future.

Quick fun project
A little weathered but not to much
'bad' paint is fun to do
funky little car would be scary on US roads
needs a license plate
will be a fun little machine I think
need a simple interior to hide wires
the sun in Wyo is hard on paint

I just saw the same CRX you were modeling at the hardware store Saturday.
I bet this car would fit in in any US City, thus the name. Nice work as usual Seth.

So can't wait to get mine! But even then have to wait till June 15th!
An extra Birthday pressie from my very sweet wife!
I knew you would go for the weathered look!
Cool and can't wait for some action shots!!
You always do great action shots!
I will have to go box art! I plan to run mine too!
But reckon it will just probably sit on the shelf looking pretty!
Such a cool an unexpected release by Tamiya!
Have fun with your Honda City Turbo MR Eastwood!! Love your new profile pic Seth!

Thanks guys, I had it shiny for awhile but it got cat hair stuck in the paint like everything else I do so I just started to make it look ratty. The profile pic is when I was out shooting my Super Redhawk .44 mags, quite a handful when doing both at same time but super fun

I hope yours runs better than mine. I tossed mine back in the box and shoved it somewhere I couldn't see it for a while. I genuinely hate mine in terms of body fitment. I do love the looks though and was hoping to see one look a little used and abused. Nice job!

It ran fine for me, I didn't use that foam on front bumper so I could mount the body slightly lower than book suggested, I also added a couple more spacers to stiffen the stock shocks up so the body didn't thunk down in front after doing wheelies and some little o-rings made from fuel tubing sandwiched between body and inside body clips keeps it from rattling
