Model engine NSX

[deckerz]

i drew this diagram of a car before i was into xmods a rc cars and i just found it in a draw and thought it looks abit like a NSX but with a longer end. Pencil.


This is the nsx i traded with Floydfanyodaman (sanded), it still needs alot of sanding.


i am going to do this project once i get a dremmel, i will cut out the rear window and put a 1/24 model engine in there (+ there are bit of the old paint stuck on the rear window doesn't matter how much i sand), its on gen1 chassis and the model engine should sit just above the motor. i am currently planning out alot of paint jobs for it.

looks pretty good. you wouldnt need an air deflecter in front of the rear spoiler though because all that would do is creat turbulance which would probably take away from rear end downforce. vertex genorators on the roof would smooth out airflow to the rear spoiler though.

XD did you sharpie some of that?

[deckerz]

either silver or mettalic blue

i think silver would look better than blue, would the silver be glossy or metalic?

I can show you pictures of my NSX in a metallic sterling silver, and in blue if you're interested in knowing what it would look like.

Personally, I like the blue more than the silver. But, my NSX looks nothing like yours either, mine is all smooth.

Edit: Just to save the time and trouble, here you go:

Silver:


It never got the windows painted in this stage because I decided against it.

Blue:

what chassis length does it sit on beause the front clip i got with it is a rsx clip and so it sits on short but im sure its suppost to sit on medium?

[dontspamme]

On the medium setting. The RSX clip works 100% fine with the NSX body.

[FloydfanYodaman]

the rsx and nsx clips are identical, as i stated previously

[deckerz]

ok so the nsx is sitting on short chassis but front wheels are about 2mm further back then they should be.

Iv ordered the 1/25 scale mitsubishi eclipse model kit from the fast and the furious, im going to build the engine from that and use that in the back. i dont know how im going to make a clear window.

Maybe when cut out i should mark around it onto a a4 sheet of flexible clear and make it about 1cm bigger then use a lighter to bend the 1cm in so it will fit snug and i can just use the model glue to glue in place.

Design: i was thinking burnt orange with the decals from the model ECLIPSE on it?

all of what you said will make no difference at this scale
