Aoshima Initial D Toyota AE-86 Trueno Sprinter

Just finished this one today.  It came out really well. I love the folding headlights.

Nice. Looks good.  I saw some video on this exact car the other day.  The guy was show it off and supposedly the writing in Japanese was for some restaurant, but the guy told the person putting it on the car he wanted something written in Japanese.  Say no more; the painter wrote something in Japanese on the car.  Literally, something written in Japanese.

it should say fujiwara tofu shop, the animated series initial d is well worth a watch if you can find it. lots of drifting, touge and tuning and a decent story line.

Very cool, I didn't realise these kits had engines

What a cool build! It's nice seeing something different once in a while.

The working pop-ups are a nice touch.

I wish I could find the video, it was pretty funny.  Especially, when they put it through Google translate.

I did find it again

I think there are a couple of different kits of this car that are curbside, but Aoshima makes a full detail one.  Nit-pickers will notice the missing upper radiator hose.  Carpet monster got it.

Awesome job on one of my all-time favorite cars!

Totally digging this build! Puts me in the mood to build my CRX and put "something written in Japanese" on the sides
