Nice choice for a next build - I also like the AM kits a lot (except the price). I'd personally like to see a candy Red or a nice metallic blue like Ford's Liquid Blue. Maybe even a Graphite grey with red and black accents. Yellow would not be a choice in my garage - no matter what car it was on.

would love to see a Opel one day :)
(Rallye Manta would be awesome)

[martinvandeventer]

I think a nice bright yellow will look awesome

[erix]

Phoenix yellow or Boost blue for sure.

[michaelbrinkley]

I enjoy whatever you build. I've even employed some of your. Techniques to make my own models that much better

[stephengirling]

Jack Sparrow's favourite car! The Honda Civic Type aaaargh!

[williamslay]

Not a fan of yellow. Maybe white with red interior or Bentley steel grey with red interior. Just my opinion. Love your work! learned a lot from your channel. Cheers

Alpha makes nice kits. Hopefully, if you decide to purchase, you’ll receive a kit that is not damaged. I have no idea if my experience with a damaged Alpha kit is unique, but I can certainly say that it was (and remains) painful.

I ordered the 2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. The kit arrived in a perfect condition box. Upon opening the box, the roof was broken from the body and the A and C pillars were in multiple pieces that precluded a simple repair.

I notified the shop that sold the kit and they attempted to contact Alpha in November, 2022. I attempted to contact Alpha at about the same time via their contact page. Despite repeated attempts we received no response from Alpha. Finally in March, 2023 I received a response from Alpha (after 5 months) that the kit was no longer in production and I was basically SOL.

If you’re going to sell $150-$250 kits, you should be willing to stand behind your quality and communicate with your customers.

All I can say with respect to Alpha is “caveat emptor.”

Beautiful kit! Looking forward to seeing you build it!! I have a '19 Civic Hatchback, absolutely love the styling inside and out! Mine is pearl white but love Honda's Rallye Red.

Yellow is nice. I like the yellow on the Lamborghini Miura from Agora Models.

[grooveholmes]

Nice! really looking forward to this one

[ScaleAutoGarage]

Haven't seen the one from alpha. Love it. This and the new yaris are ones I would love to build myself but just haven't been able to dish the coin. Yellow sounds great and I am so looking forward to this build.

[carloszerogarcia]

I have the not Type R version (regular one) in a light metalic blue, which looks awesome... Take a look and consider it 😉

[TJHahn]

Pearlescent White would be nice on a Type R

[Porsche.]

Instead of yellow you should go for white red and black

[jeremyfilbert]

i know my suggestion is going to be boring but i'd paint it championship white

[Mauscmkwk]

You should try something from model factory hiro

[Jnn-efzd]

Is this the next kits to be assemble??

[joebalusikiii]

I wish you'd share the price point of these specialty resin kits. Yes, I know the web is at our fingertips, but it would be nice to have that info as part of the unboxing.
