Mmm:D Good Job!!

[chzrpopper]

what is this song??

[zomgthesoftness]

If you want more of a challenge, there exists an Aoshima model with full engine detail. From the looks of it, some parts may be interchangeable as it's nothing more than the regular AE86 kits with the rest of the engine thrown in.

I am currently working on one although mine will remain mostly "stock"

PSif you want you can buy alternative tires for Fujimi 1/24 models

[kevinmosleyI]

Great looking car! Love the exterior especially!

[joh2]

Thankyou - I thoroughly enjoyed building this!

[raconter1]

Very nice, Shannon!  :) Jack

[joh2]

Thankyou Jack :) These cars (in 1:1) were v.popular here in NZ as used Japanese imports in the 1990s - now the Japanese themselves are rediscovering them!

[KINGD1991]

fantastic! Great work! great painjob and details, keep it up ;-}

[joh2]

Thankyou! The paint was a lottery, particularly as I sprayed Spraykote over Plastikote, two brands where the paint often reacts when one is sprayed over the other - also, it was flat black that I used, with plenty of clearcoat!

[twiprod002]

Nice work!! Nice detail.

[joh2]

Thankyou - your flame paint approaches are giving me ideas for future muscle cars I have currently unbuilt...

[BasicModelling]

Brilliant.. you sure did a very good paintjob on that one... :)

[joh2]

Thankyou :) As you saw it was the second approach I had in mind, but I'm pleased how it came out! :)

[dangeroustoys56]

Nice job- ive herd of that series ' Initial D'- never seen it tho.

I have some diecast tuner cars- bot em cause they looked cool plus were on clearance :) I think i have a couple plastic kits around somewhere as well.

I need to get back into building plastic kits sometime- just dont have anywhere to do it.

[joh2]

Thankyou! For me I build wherever there is space available - I do all models outside (when theres no rain or snow!) or in the garage with the door open...

[dangeroustoys56]

I used to spray paint the bulk of the cars either outside or in the garage ( back north) and then do the detail painting at my hobby desk in my room.

I had planned on setting up shop out in our screened in porch- but it gets way too hot out there- i have too much lawntractor stuff out in my shed to paint out there.

[bowtiebadboy33]

I'm not a big fan of tuners, But you did an awesome job, keep up the good work!!

[joh2]

Thankyou! Looking through your vids, and your muscle car projects are giving me much inspiration for future American models that have unbuilt at present...
