Revell-Monogram Acura Integra Type R


















Model: 1/25 Revell-Monogram Acura Integra Type R
My Previous Experience: None

Pro's:
This was my first model. That said, I am quite pleased with it. The engine detail is excellent with lots of hoses and pipes. The suspension and underside detail is nice. There are lots of wheel types and body kits options.

Con's:
The models parts fit together nicely, but many of the peices were either too thick or too thin. Also, the instructions are more than a little vague in some areas. For example, the placement of the rear windshield wiper. And the attachment of the wheels so that they will roll. Other than that, the model seemed to work well.

Modifications:
I lowered the car by modifying the suspension. It was a little tricky, but I think it came out well. I also painted the ludicrously chrome wheels. I believe it was a metallic paint called Burnt Iron. There were lots of large decals like flames and several other gaudy decals. I stayed away from them. My motto is: "If it doesn't look like it should on the real thing, it's aftermarket!"

Summary: Easy, cheap and lots of options. Thumbs up!
