Roncla Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Its going to be interesting to see how Aoshimas' Toyota compares to the Tamiya offering http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10182967 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) I just pre ordered the aoshima one last night, I now have three new aoshima kits on pre order, thats going to hurt the wallet when I gotta pay for it. I will be doing a kit review of it Edited May 24, 2012 by martinfan5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I am curious how the Aoshima and Tamiya versions will compare...I usually find Tamiyas to be better in detail, accuracy and fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymcminn Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I'm a little surprised that Tamiya is doing these as full-detail kits. I'm definitely interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well what I have been reading, Aoshima is getting up there on detail that Tamiya is, and the Aoshima version of the Aventador has more engine detail then Fujimi one, and opening doors as well. I am not sure if the Aoshima Toyota 86 has engine detail, its hard to tell from the mock up shots, but it does have a separate hood and trunk lid Edit- follow the link, and scroll down to the third picture and you will see what the Aoshima an exploded view of the kit parts http://forum.spc.org...php?f=9&t=19299 Edited May 25, 2012 by martinfan5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymcminn Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 If the Countach I just built is any indicator, Aoshima has really stepped up their game lately. I'm holding out for the Aoshima Aventador kit for the extra detail... I just can't see paying Fujimi prices for the product they've been putting out recently.

Thats why I pre ordered the Aoshima version, its $20 cheaper and more detail Edit- If you want to get the kits, now is a good time, both Hobby Link Japan and Hobby Search are doing 20% off on all the new release's when pre ordered Edited May 25, 2012 by martinfan5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I am not sure if the Aoshima Toyota 86 has engine detail, its hard to tell from the mock up shots Is it just me or does that mock up model look like it was 3D printed, rather than being a typical "test shot" from injection molded plastic?

I know what you are saying, it does look odd, I think you are right, it might be 3d printed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
