Chuck Most Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) This is the old Nitto kit. Since just building a rare kit of a rare car wasn't gonna be enough, I had to go further. Shadow Spoke wheels and tires from Aoshima were used, which required some suspension mods in addition to the ones made just for stance. The stock air cooled flat twin was jettisoned. In it's place is a 4A-GE from an Aoshima Trueno. That kit also supplied the radiator and brake cylinder. So I guess now it's a Sports 1600? In the trunk you will find the battery box and fuel tank from a Revell Model A. The paint is Testors Star Spangled Blue overall with the targa panel done in Graphite Dust. If you're interested, the entire buildup is chronicled here... https://public.fotki.com/Madhouse-Miniatures/completed-models-au/toyota-/1966-toyota-sports-800/ Edited January 15, 2023 by Chuck Most 9
Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Thought about getting one of these awhile back, but didn't know how it would look. Yours came out nice. I may have to get one in the future.
Kennyboy Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Love it Chuck. As luck would have it, I built this kit years ago too and (like you) I built it far from stock as well. 2 1
doorsovdoon Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Haven't seen one of these before. Great looking build!
