1987 Toyota Carina ED Autopista

This was just a quick, box-stock buildup of a Carina as restyled by Autopista. The Carina is basically a four-door version of a Celica. I liked this version because it kind of looks like a grandma car with a body kit. All I did was blend in the ground effects at the wheel openings a little better. I'm still not great at painting rub strips, but I'm getting there.

That looks great. I love kits of uncommon cars. This is Tamiya, right? 

Yes. Pics of the contents here: http://modelkitreviews.proboards.com/thread/92/24-tamiya-toyota-carina-autopista

Good to see someone finish one of these. It's really a neat looking car and pulls off that late '80s monochromatic/Euro with directional wheels look very well.
