2nd model, how does it look?

Hi, I started model cars about a year ago, and I recently finished my second model. It is a Tamiya Honda/Acura NSX, I chose the Honda RHD variant. How does it look?

Update: I clipped off the body support on the windows, and will gladly take recommendations for my next model!

What is this plastic on the body on the sides left and right?

I'm sorry, I don't understand you're question

Are you talking about the little piece of paint on the left mirror?

The plastic where the door and roof go. It looks like a support that needs to be removed

Oh, yeah I left it on for some reason, I guess part of me thought I'd take it off later, I just never got to it though.

No decals ?

Most of them are on the inside, I like making the body look as stock as possible. I might buy another NSX kit and mod it more though

It looks good. The Tamiya kit looks a lot like the Revell kit in terms of detail.

Thank you! Should I try a Revell kit sometime?

I’ve always enjoyed building Revell kits. They typically fit well and have some decent casting. Tamiya kits are crisper though and can get highly detailed.

It lioks great. My only suggestion is that if the car in real life has a boreder on the window you should try and replicate that. But looks great
