Zarana-X Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Oh no. That's a Nissan F30 Leopard TR-X. Rare as hen's teeth, at least the Fujimi kit. The Tamiya is a bit more common, though. Yay! Mystery solved! Told you it wasn't a Yota ;-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'd buy all three. No question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarana-X Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) I've just acquired a Venus kit, no thanks to the guy who outbid me three months ago. Also no thanks to the guy who also outbid me on a Farcon kit from this same seller. This is for posterity, people! Holy Injection Pin, Batman! The frame looks the same as the Destroyer. Or is it? Side by side comparison with one of my Destroyer frames. The nose and tail end are different. Each car may have its own, similar, but unique frame?

Zarana-X Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Moving on to the dashboard and wheels. The dashboard and center console are different from the Destroyer. A nice surprise. This sprue contains the grille used on the Farcon, so its safe to assume it shares the same dash, while the Destroyer and Interceptor share theirs. Finally, a good look at the infamous swastika wheels. They are directional, so I don't think these are intended to be any kind of Nazi sympathiser wheels. The swastika was used by Buddihst and others before WWII ruined it for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarana-X Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Glass and lenses, dark as hell. Not sure what the big trapezoid is for, its not in the instructions, probably used on the stock Supra. Seats, rear interior and steering. Same as Destroyer. Figures, supercharger/blower, and headlight grilles from the other kits. (yay, extra parts!)

Zarana-X Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) lastly, the front fender armor: Tyres, and electrical connctions in a lil' bag. I didn't get the motor, which both of my destroyer kits had. These old Japanese kits weren't sealed. I'm not sure if the seller, or sticky fingered kids from 30 years ago are to blame.

Zarana-X Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Decal sheet and instructions! decals are different from Destroyer, mainly the instrument cluster and star field/kill count. Edited August 19, 2014 by Zarana-X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyser Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Trapezoid is glass sunroof insert. I always wondered if Farcon was actually '80s JDM Falcon. L really doesn't exist in JP language. On the T/A, the missiles would probably not do rear spoiler much good, melted mess each launch. Good hits, keep hunting. Thx for pics.

I see the sunroof, and the wind deflector. I'm talking about #9 in the bottom right corner. Looks too big for the stock instrument cluster: Edited July 27, 2014 by Zarana-X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumi Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 It is for the instrument panel. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10262555z3/70/3 Step 5, part G9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarana-X Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Here's my start. Got the wheels done and doing some body mods, and cleaning up the headlight and hood panel lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarana-X Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Mad Police Venus (Toyota Supra 1982-ish?) in progress The steering wheel broke, I will fix it when I add the driver figure in place. The black plastic on these kits are brittle, and I'm pretty sure this and the last Destroyer I built, the wheel snapped when I removed it from the sprue.
