![]() Today's car of the day is Maisto's 1996 Honda Civic EK9. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Civic ![]() Maisto always had me excited for Honda models, specifically the Accord and the Civic. Detailed with Whiteout and gel pens, this one has been in my collection since my brother had bought his 1:1 Honda Civic EK9. I also have this one in red. ![]()

It's an excellent casting, and I've never seen it in blue either. Maisto were doing some really nice models at the time this one was released and all with interiors and clear glazing. |

I really like this casting. Jeff Koch showed me one from his collection which is a prototype of this Civic in yellow, with tuner graphic tampos and newer wheel design, which was to be released in the short-lived Excess Tuners line. Its a shame it never came to fruition. The new castings Maisto did release in the line were terrible and quickly killed the series before this Civic and the scheduled Accord could make it in. Here are mine, with lights added. ![]() ![]() ![]() Dean |

This red one came in a two-pack with a Celica and named "Campus Pals." By the mid-90s the Civic hatch back had evolved some nice lines, but it didn't make it to the 2000 generation re-style. |

Interestingly enough, I actually got both my red and blue Civics in Maisto Fresh Metal singles. I never knew they had two packs. |

This is how I got mine- two pack (saw the Celica and it was an instant no-brainer purchase!). |

I had one which I got in 3-pack about 10 years ago on the cross channel ferry. It came with the Celica and a Chrysler Sebring. I traded the Civic years ago and since then a JL tuner version has taken it's place. |
