Review and Photos by Will Emerson \"Will<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0By the late 90’s a new kind of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hot Rod\u00e2\u20ac\u009d was\u00c2\u00a0seen on the streets\u00c2\u00a0and in the hearts of young Americans as well. These new hot rods or “Tuners” as they called were mainly four cylinder imports with added horsepower, bright paint and cool graphics. One of the favorites among the tuner enthusiasts was the Honda Civic. Both Coupe and hatchback models were popular because they were readily available, reasonably priced and had lots of aftermarket engine\/body parts available for them.<\/p>\n

Revell calls this \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The super-sport import\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and describes it like this on their website, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153 Staying one step of the law isn’t easy but in the high octane world of Fast and Furious, cars like the nimble Honda Civic Si Coupe help keep you out in front. This limited production hi-performance coupe gets the standout crime crew around in style and at speed. Get your slice of the action with this cool kit!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

For the Modeler:<\/strong> This is a review of the Revell Fast & Furious Honda Civic Si in 1:25 scale. The kit has 106 parts molded in White, Chrome and Clear parts, with soft Vinyl tires, instructions and waterslide decals.\u00c2\u00a0 The kit is a great example of this \"000b\"<\/a> popular tuner car and even features the coveted VTEC engine. While the kit doesn’t specify a year I would put it around a 1998. This kit is a skill level 3 for the advanced modeler featuring several build options. There are no mold lines, injector pin marks or flash to found on this kit. The kit is a 2n1 that can be built either stock or as the full Tuner version.\u00c2\u00a0 The overall build size is: Length: 7\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, Width: 3\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, Height: 2-1\/16\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n

PROS: <\/strong>The two best things about this kit [besides the great fit] have to be the numerous build versions [3 sets of rims, 2 rear deck wings and 2 front\/rear fascias] and the decal sheet which features full script decals for both stock and tuner versions, 2 sets of \"000c\"<\/a> instrument panel decals, two sets of tuner graphics, carbon fiber hood decal and much more.<\/p>\n

Cons:<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0 If I were forced to list anything bad about this kit it would be only two things. First the window glass was a bit too wide around the back windows, but an easy fix by sanding the sides a little with a sanding stick. Finally the Carbon fiber hood decal did not want to conform to the shape of the hood, but with some patience and a little Testors decal set it laid down nicely.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"999\"<\/a>
\nOverall:<\/strong> \u00c2\u00a0This kit was a blast to build. I am not a big fan of Tuner cars, but I must say I would build this kit again. Because of the great fit, numerous build options and wonderful overall look of the finished build I would give this kit 9.5 out of 10 stars.<\/p>\n
