martinfan5 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) Delighted to see after months of speculation, and scant answers from Aoshima that these kits will indeed have the Scion decals and LHD parts to make the cars they showed in the original advertising. If these were from Revell I'd have to get a vintage Nascar-Gasser taxi hot rod version to get those parts. Well, I know you are happy about the LHD, I did have you covered if they didnt,( now what to do with all the LHD bits I have) What about the other million question, is it coming with the engine Edited October 10, 2013 by martinfan5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think turbocharging out that new engine would have been mentioned at some point. EDIT - Confirmed, this pair are curbsides, but allegedly some distributors will be carrying engine kits separately in the future.

I seen that they responded to my question about the engines, I asked what dealers will have the engines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Some other Aoshima 86 kits have engines, don't they? As far as stock 86/BRZ kits, I have the Tamiya ones..not familiar w/ the Aoshima offerings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Rob, Aoshima re released the 86/BRZ kits awhile back with engine parts, the first run of the 86/BRZ kits were curbside Edited October 10, 2013 by martinfan5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 As Jonathan mentions they were just reissued this summer. Those two kits have rather large pictures of the real engine on the box top and ends with "incl FA20 type engine" bordering the engine photo.

Rob, here is what the box art for the with engine looks like, the BRZ kit pretty much the same, just blue instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niteowl7710 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) I think the only thing we're waiting on right now is getting the box art approved. They're currently negotiating with Speed Hunters for various usage of their photos. Edited October 20, 2013 by niteowl7710 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinfan5 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 We are getting closer, sometime this month they will be released, in the meantime, here are some more pics, up first, one of the decal sheets And the templates that aide in cutting the fenders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) If you didn't already pre-order this kit in the first days it was available, you're still not going to get one, but it has finally come into stock at your favorite reputable direct from Japan online retailer. I'm sure some will pop up on eBay at a premium, but the initial run of kits was already sold out before they ever got on the "shelves" at it were.
