Crap. Somebody put a Fujimi kit into the Aoshima box.

What's in the box?
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/7/5/5/1085755-18821-82-720.jpg)
Red plastics. I don't like it. In the newer kits by Fujimi, the parts are black molded. I know it because I have some in my shelf and compared them.
Under the tape are the mirrors. The picture was taken before the painting. Nearly forgot it.

Sticked the floor pan and interior together.

Closed the holes for the rear deck spoiler
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/7/4/7/1085747-18821-96-720.jpg)
Already base coated

![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/4/6/2/1086462-18821-11-720.jpg)
Nearly good. Some flaws in the passengers door :/
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/6/7/8/1104678-18821-63-720.jpg)
Clear coat is done 🙂
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/8/0/8/1116808-18821-69-720.jpg)
After a little wet sanding and polishing, I was through the rear ends edge 🙁 So I spotrepaired it. Crossing fingers how it turned out.
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/3/6/6/1139366-18821-47-720.jpg)
The paintjob (clear coat) went not that good. The trunk lid won't get the same glossy finish like the rest. The rest was perfect.
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/3/6/9/1139369-18821-50-720.jpg)
Another failure: cracks and crinkles. I was not in the mood to do a repair again.
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/3/6/8/1139368-18821-78-720.jpg)
So I stripped the paint...
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/3/6/7/1139367-18821-16-720.jpg)
...and fillered it again after wet sanding.
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/0/3/6/1141036-18821-18-720.jpg)
New year, new paint job. I'm satisfied with it.

![Album image #27 Album image #27](/albums/img/7/7/8/1149778-18821-94-720.jpg)
Done.

The decals were not usable after the flood last summer.They have a lot of cracks. I cut them out and glued it with the paper in place. A medium thick layer hand painted clear cote make them looking not that bad. When the body is over the chassis it will be good enough.
![Album image #29 Album image #29](/albums/img/7/7/7/1149777-18821-46-720.jpg)
So I'm done with it 🙂
![Album image #30 Album image #30](/albums/img/7/7/6/1149776-18821-58-720.jpg)
I love that front. At last, I added metal stickers on the nose an the rear. They suck. What a tiny crappy work, when the stickers fall apart
![Album image #31 Album image #31](/albums/img/7/7/5/1149775-18821-32-720.jpg)
The Prelude-Logo broke in three pieces. I did my best. The H fell apart in two pieces. At the back and at the front. I hate it. But it looks good.

Thank you for your interesst!
To the dashboard. I'll take the LHD dashboard. It is constructed that way, that the decal will be placed between the top part and lower part. It looks like, that it mustn't be put on like a decal. I think it is good enough to cut it out an glue it in place somehow. I'll look at it by the time when I need it. I'll see, how bad it looks through the windows. If it will be seen, that it is worn, I'll scan the decals of another kit in my stash and replace it. I'm looking relaxed forward 😉

Another round for the paint. Stripped the color and did it from the start up.

Thank you very much. There are tiny little / very small imperfections where I don't think, to lay my hands on it.
