Motor mount off and pretending custom H-plate in place. And removed the front body clip as it's too long for this bod. This gives you a better look at how it will come together.
Rear view. You can see why this'll need HM type.
Right now it look's like the rear wheels are sticking out, but it's not really like that. It's just sitting that way because the motor mount is in the way and not letting it sit in the proper position. But trust me, it is the perfect width for this body.
I'm going to have to make a custom nose clip for this one as the Dnano one won't work here.
I'm thinking 19's all around will work on this one!

Hi, can you post the final photos of this custom built? And what did you use to secure the body? That's one i'm interrested too.

Hi Nalves! Sorry I did not find the time to paint this one yet. I will probably use foam blocks (RCP track material type) and lateral screws to secure the body, the same way I did with the Supra http://tinyrc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23887

I recently saw on ebay two more 1/43 scale model kit's. The WRC Ford Focus, much like the original AutoScale was, and the Peugoet 206 WRC model. I'm thinking of getting both and doing the Pug like that Mini Power one!
I'm still waiting on my Renault R5-Turbo to come in.

Hey naives, I can't wait to see that Le Man's car put together! Would look great sitting next to the 962 and 917's.
Keep us posted on it's progress!
Sounds like you should paint it up to match the MR03 and get one to match!
Always cool to have matching cars in different scales!

Hey guy's! Check out ebay item number 140324180533. It is a plastic model kit of the Acura NSX super car and it is pre-painted gray. It's 1/43 scale and would make for a nice Dnano body. I'm tempted to get one, but $50 seems a bit much.

Thats interesting, a bit pricey though. Good point it is already painted.
IMO the NSX is a potential future dNaNo ASC, at least the racing versions given the mini-z lineup so I would not choose that body, but it would be interesting to know what other cars this brand "Rosso Model Kit" makes.

I've found several great 1/43 scale plastic model kit's from Heller. I've got three on the way. The Renault R5-Turbo, Ford Focus WRC, just like the original AutoScale, and the Peugoet 206 WRC. This morning while searching ebay, I came across a Porsche 928 also from Heller which I've placed a bid on.
Some progress reports on my little Honda.Body work has begun. I used a styrene plastic sheet for front and rear bumper's. I will use this as a background for building the body kit using Milliput. I'll also use the Milliput for molding in the side skirts.

Some Milliput put in place.
Waiting for it to dry, and then some sanding to give it some shape!

Wow BooHoo !!! I think that is the best combo of centerlines and body I have seen yet. Is that body plastic. I have been wanting to do a whole classic Trans-Am Series of the late 60's in the dNaNo scale. You are bringing back some memorys with that 69.

I wouldn't say their bland, it just depends on the body their placed on. Boohoo's example of that classic Muscle Car is dead on for these wheels.
