1:24 Honda NSX NA1 Japanese version 3D-Printed & coloured Interior on decal paper (Tamiya)

Honda NSX NA1, the Japanese version - a 3D printed interior 1:24

An add-on of the Quinta Studio brand for a model of the NSX sports car of the NA1 generation in 1:24 scale, meant for its Japanese version. It is not a car kit but a set of pre-colored interior elements which, according to the name, are printed three-dimensionally and carried on decal paper. Thanks to them the inside of a model comes across with relief and whole in color, without the laborious painting of individual small details. The decals are shaped to the parts of the Tamiya kit.

The real subject

The NSX came onto the market in 1990 and represented a technological peak for the brand: an aluminum unitary body, a six-cylinder engine mounted amidships behind the crew, variable valve timing and an emphasis on handling. The aim was to build a sports car that would stand comparison with the European competition and could still be used every day. On the home Japanese market it was sold under the Honda brand, while for North America it carried the Acura name, which is why two separate interior sets are available and this one belongs to the Japanese version.

Usage tips

• Paint the surface under the interior and let it dry thoroughly.
• Carry small elements with tweezers and press them down with a soft brush.
• Work according to the manufacturer's instructions, from the largest pieces to the smallest.
• Do not use a decal softener or setting solution, as the chemistry will damage the print.
• A final flat varnish evens out the gloss of the whole interior.

Who the set is for

For modelers who are building the NSX in Japanese specification and want the interior at the level of the rest of the model. It serves well where the inside is clearly visible: with the doors open, the roof lowered or the engine bay glazed.
