Modeller introduction to the Fujimi Spoon Sports Integra Type R

The Fujimi 1/24 Spoon Sports Integra Type R LA-DC5 kit offers a scaled representation of a celebrated Honda performance car. With a reputation rooted in competition and engineering excellence, the Integra Type R continues to be sought after by collectors. This kit allows modellers to recreate the aggressive styling that marked the DC5 period.

Performance heritage and character

Spoon Sports editions are noted for precise handling and a tendency to be high revving, traits that earned them respect on circuits and enthusiast scenes. While the kit does not model the engine internals, it captures the exterior form and race-derived design cues effectively.

Practical modelling considerations

Recommended for intermediate modellers, this Fujimi kit features detailed panels that require careful trimming and alignment. The 1/24 scale keeps proportions accurate, and painting plus decal work will define the finished look. Patience with masking and thin coats will yield the best results.

Collecting and display advice

When completed, the model makes an attractive display piece that reflects the Integra Type R spirit. It sits well in a display focused on iconic Japanese sports cars, and the Spoon Sports branding enhances its authenticity for enthusiasts.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/24

The kit is best tackled by modellers with some prior experience due to fine parts and decal work, though careful beginners can progress with time.
Decals respond well to a gentle clear coat. Use a test area first and apply light layers to avoid lifting or silvering.
Use a fine wash or panel line accentuated paint and remove excess carefully with a cotton bud dampened with suitable thinner for neat results.
Yes, the finished model works well in dioramas. Consider mounting it on a small display plinth or track scene to showcase the racing pedigree.
