I believe the coupe body was a Pininferina design.
Interstingly, the Airfix kit includes parts for both the chrome bumper and the rubber versions. If you get the new Aoshima releases its one or the other.
Aoshima kit includes lovely PE MG badge too! And on the rubber bumper version gets the ROstyle wheels.
Don't know anything about the RoG kit though.
Nice start. This is a lovely kit. I built it as a teenager, and its still on my shelf now.
I remeber going to the NEC motor show as a kid in 1984 and seeing the Testarossa for the first time. I was absolutely blown away.
I built a few in this style back in the early 90s, though my builds are not as good as these.
Both are ace, and are a great way of remembering the trend of the time.
The Xr4i is a really nice kit from Tamiya. Unusual that Tamiya did this, but I'm glad they did. Prices for these kits have gone crazy now. Looking forward to seeing this one come together.
BTW the racing version is a Cosworth 500 - not a XR4i IIRC.
Absolutley cracking job on plumbing the V12! Its really taking shape.
I built the TWR version as a kid, but I think the regular version is much better looking. The V12 in my build is out of the box, and looks naked compared to your excellent job.
