I have been drooling over this kit since it was new, so definitely following

Bozzer
Yeah, I agree with Martin. This has always been a kit, I wanted to get my hands on. I actually saw the built model, at Bolton IPMS in January. Those tyres are amazing and the vehicle itself, looked almost space-like.

Bozzer
This build excites me 🙂

Bozzer
Excellent progress. How's the interior?

Qwertzel
Thank you, Bozzer! Right now, I'm working on the equipment boxes in the back. I didn't start with the cabin. I will post some pictures later

Martin Oostrom
This is becoming very nice!

Bozzer
It most definitely is, a "must have" kit, for me! I can't help but wonder, why it's not been re-released again? I can only assume, it's something to do with the licence?

Martin Oostrom
It has been twice after approximately 10 years. Last one was in 2013….

Qwertzel
It's possible to buy this kit from eBay, but it costs round about 150€. I bought the kit produced in the 1980th and the plastic is very fragile and the equipment boxes aren't well detailed and it's not possible to open them fully. Besides that, I love this kit. The overall fitting is good and this kit is well designed. If it is possible to get this kit in a bundle with other kits, it is possible to get it relatively cheap

Looking forward here ...........

Bozzer
Let's hope they release it again, soon? I read an interesting review of this kit, from when it first came out. I'll share it, just incase anyone has missed it?

Cuajete
An old kit with a good work... Following!

Ben M
I enjoy kits that don't fit! 👀

Maciej Bellos
That's some work there! Looking forward to the next steps.

Taking a seat. Nice progress 👍

B. M.
Very nice so far! 👍🏼
What did you use to fill up these gaps?

George Williams
That's a sweet car, chain driven no less.

Jennifer Franklin
There is nice detailing on the engine; overall, the car is nice, too.

Jan Peters
Thanks mates.
Although I'm a petrolhead, I've not built many car models before.
My son is a big fan of racing cars in general, and old Japanese cars in particular. He has asked me to build this one for him.

Neuling
Sehr schön. More pictures please!

Jan Peters
The pictures are of the real car, I have not yet started with the model 😉

Jennifer Franklin
lol, in that case following, you had me super impressed with the car photos I thought were a model build. I though you were that good. Some of the mates on here are that good.

Jan Peters
More on the S800 on my son's Facebook page: facebook.com/1000634..ely/965621152231173/

Jan Peters
Finally made a start on this one.

Jan Peters
Since I have a couple of weeks off work, I have picked up the Honda again.

István Szücs
Great work, I love this car!

Jan Peters
Thanks István

Jennifer Franklin
The Facebook post was a good read; thanks for the reference.

Jan Peters
Thanks, I'll tell my son, it is his page 🙂

Tcamp

Jennifer Franklin

Jan Peters
Thanks mates 🙏🏻

Robert Podkoński
Taking my seat here 🙂

Jan Peters
Welcome Robert 🙂

Jan Peters
Meanwhile the body has been painted with a Tamiya rattle can.
Some small dust particles have sneaked into the paint, but nothing serious.

István Szücs
The dashboard looks great!

Ben M
I love these old Hondas. Looking good!

Jan Peters
Thanks mates🙂

Chris Reimann
Very nice progress. Love your attention to the details.

Jan Peters
Thanks Chris🙂

George Williams
It's sure looking good.

Jan Peters
Thanks George 🙂

yngvenett
I'm impressed, so following to see the finished version. Question to @Jan Peters: "Engine bay painted a dirty yellow". Is this some kind of weathering? I'm pretty new and eager to learn

Jan Peters
Thanks 🙂
Yes, the dirtied up yellow is a pre weathering. I like my models dirty, real race cars are never clean

yngvenett
Thanks 👍 do you know if there's a video on YouTube or somewhere else I can learn how to do what you did? It looks very realistic

Michael Kohl
I am in.

Jan Peters
Welcome Michael 🙂

Jan Peters
@yngvenett to answer your question: I started out with a black base, misted yellow over this, so it does not cover the black, and went back over it with yellow applied by brush. I will give it a wash of a dark brown later on.

yngvenett
Thank you again for taking time to answer my questions. I will try my best

Jan Peters
Up on it's wheels🙂

Tcamp
It only gets better and better!!! Cool

Jan Peters
Thanks Tcamp 🙂

Jan Peters
More slow progress

István Szücs
It's almost ready!

Robert Podkoński
...and looks great already!

Jan Peters
Thanks! Still some work to do mates 🙂

George Williams
I'm liking it very much.

Jan Peters
This is now done 👍🏻
I will wait for the decals to dry before making the final pictures.

Jan Peters
All done, and handed over to my son 🙂

gorby
Very nice result!

Jan Peters
Thanks Gorby 🙏🏻

István Szücs
Wonderful result, sir!

Jan Peters
Thank you István!

Jan Peters
Bought a cheap laser cut display case so it won't get too dusty. 

Spanjaard
looks really really really interesting 🙂

Villiers de Vos
My hat is off to you working in this scale.

Mike Volkov
😂
I hope it will turn out well

Michael Kohl
I don't doubt it

Spanjaard
nice job on those tiny sidewinders 🙂

S M
XO So impressive missiles!

Spanjaard
wow, paintjob is fantastic, without the hand it could pass as a much larger scale!

Mike Volkov
It's not easy to grow such big hands 🤣

Mike Volkov
Guys, the 1:144 A-7D full build video is finally available on YouTube: Youtube Video 🤩

Neuling
Excellent paintwork. Definitely looks like a bigger scale kit.

Villiers de Vos
Fantastic work.

Michael Kohl
Jep. Very nice.

S M
Looks fantastic for such a small model!👍👍👍

Mike Volkov
Thamk you guys! 😊
What do you think of the video? Not too long and boring?

S M
The video was pretty long, but informative. Is that your real voice or are you using a synthesizer?
