1:24 Honda CR-Z Early (ZF1) Alpha Grade

Honda CR-Z Early Alpha Grade, 1:24

A kit of a compact hybrid coupe in the early specification with the body code ZF1 and the Alpha grade of equipment. The reduction corresponds to the ordinary automotive scale and once finished it has a size comparable to the other passenger cars in this class of reduction.

A hybrid that wanted to be sporting

The CR-Z appeared at the beginning of the last decade as an attempt to join economical hybrid technology with the conception of a small sporting coupe. Unconventional above all was the offer of a manual gearbox, which at that time almost nobody else had on cars with electric assistance. The shortened tail with the steep angle of the glass and the split rear window pointed back to the earlier compact cars of the brand.

The procedure and painting step by step

First rid the body of flash, then apply a filler primer and a light ground; pearl and metallic shades stand out on it most of all. The seats and the dashboard deserve a drybrush, so that the structure of the surface comes out. Fit the glazing right at the close and glue it with a clear glue that leaves no clouding.

What kind of modelers the kit suits

• admirers of modern Japanese cars after the year 2000
• modelers who like tuning the shade of the paint down to the detail
• builders of urban coupes and hatchbacks
• collectors of hardware with an unconventional drivetrain

This is an unassembled kit without paint; count on modeling paints, glue and basic tools on top of it.
