370Z Heritage.  Red boxes show new parts, which is the front bumper & parts and the wheels as predicted.  Nice to see they included the silver stripes that the black version uses.  Appears the body itself is going to be molded in Banana Yellow.  The 2019 version is also available in white, red & dark blue which all use the black striping.

This will make a great singer style base

Singers are based on the pre '74 body style, long hood with turn signals in the fender.  The SCRS was produced in '84 and uses the short hood with the big bumpers.

That Lancia is on like Kong.  Diggin' the Starion too, waay more than I woulda when it was new - looks like it's got space between the strut towers, huh?  If not the first release, maybe a later one...

But man. Looks like Aoshima is gonna leave it to us to spackle that bashed area between the doors and front fenders again on the Huracan.

I've seen every 3D render of that Starion, and while there is certainly a separate engine bottom, I have not (in my limited importance of knowing a guy who knows a guy) seen any renders of an engine top nor an engine bay.  I suspect it will be much like the Audi's where it's there as part of the suspension, rather than anything of import.  The Starion was used in AJTCC/Gr A/Macau racing, and was also a tarmac rally car, and Mitsubishi was working on making what was in effect a 4WD version to be used in Gr. B. Rally.  The last one of course was somewhat stillborn due to the death of Gr. B, but was still campaigned in a number or rallys between '83-'89 in prototype and experimental classes.  The AWD (nee Starion 4WD as it was called) used the transfer case off a Pajero (Montero) behind the transmission and well you can't exactly engrave that into the chassis of a touring car. :lol:

After a long delay the '01 Nissan Skyline (R34) 25GT Turbo was shown.  The middle sign in Japanese is actually an apology note, saying the kit will be released at the end of November.  Two kits, one is "Optional Wheels" which includes a set of TE-37s, which are rather uninspired options.

The few new parts in the Pagani to make it more windy.

Also Aoshima has tooled up a new set of wheels for the "Uretane" bumper MG-B
