And a few more................. And having seen this whilst researching on Google........................... I added a few of my own................................... So just prior to fitting bonnet and boot lid................................ And the last few to come.................

Cheers guys, yes it's a nice kit. And here are the final pics.......................... Hanging the wing and test fitting the boot lid again........................ My own printed decal, hellaflush / illset / canibeat all over the bonnet............................. I started the kit decals first....................................... and some others from the kit.....................

Yes I built one of the original Honda 750's as a flat tracker!

and a few more...................... Body on and test fit bonnet (had to shave the outside plastic from the 'hinges' for smooth fit raise and lower, and to close properly)................... Photo Etch filler cap (if you can see it on my old cutting board!)............... Stance with cambered hubs........a shot before the wings/fenders are fitted. Remember there are both standard and cambered hubs in the kit.............. And the wings/fenders fitted! More tomorrow........................

Thanks Brizio, yes they are cool! Here's today's work......... Nose with brake ducts fitted to body................ Rear bumper and undertray...................... Bumper unit fixed to body and test fit boot lid................... More in a moment.............

I've seen various resin based tuner engines for sale. Yes shaun I did send you a message through this site saying I was about to start, perhaps you didn't get it? Yes the CF was folded over on the edge of the fender and wouldn't stick it seems, and disintegrated the next day in minute flakes. As martinfan states with this one there's just the bottom/transmission shape and gearbox belhousing. Anyway more work to do tomorrow, and the subsequent pics to show! I'm now hunting down extra 'tuner' decals to put on plus the kit ones. In my google search into 'Images of Toyota 86 Rocket Bunny' I came across this, so hunting as above for more decals............. I'll have to see what I can find.

Wow, I really love the paint job, it looks like a new style road map! I've bought one of the Fujimi McLaren sports racers and ordered 'sharp' camo in black & white!

Next is the interior............ And the Dash............... The windows come in 3 pieces the two sides that fit on the outside and the front and rear which is in one moulding fitted from the inside......................... The paint masks are also supplied................... With all of the windows in the Scuttle/ windscreen wipers, is fitted up the the edge of the front screen.......................... With radiator and headlights................. The front is next with the black moulded grill and numberplate................... Some more later tomorrow.

I've been so busy today in the cabin, so I thought I'd update now instead of tomorrow................. Now going on the above photo with the matt black wings/fenders I've painted mine...................... And test fitted them............................ Sorry about the leg,it was hot here today (Unusual) And a few more pics to come..................

The body after paint and removal of masking................................ Also the bonnet and boot lid................................. I tried carbonfibre decal but it flaked off the next morning........................... The finished underside of the chassis with all of the components............................ More tomorrow.

Hi jb, yes there are lots of bits in the box to cover the variants, but instructions only for this Japanese RB Version.......... I've also seen the engines advertised here but they all seem to be sold out and on back order! I research on google 'images of' etc and there are hundreds of pics, including a you tube promo video! The rear end with prop, suspension, disks.etc........................ The exhaust system with suitable painting of bends and joints with clear blue acrylic....................................... The bodyshell ready for metalic red Plasti-Kote rattle can. The masking is to aid adding the wings/fenders with no scraping of paint................... More to come...................

There is a choice of 'stances' and I have chosen the cambered suspension version. I have painted the disk calipers yellow where the instructions suggest both brake disks and calipers be aluminium......................... The wheels were alloy painted from the box and I have painted them satin black..................... Thi is the bottom of the 'dummy' engine and gearbox with the suspension, hubs and steering................... I understand an engine can be bought separately and fitted as both bonnet and boot lid are ready hinged. More tomorrow.

I started this kit last week.................... It has a double depth box as it can depict, USA, Euro and Japanese Toyota 86 and it's Scion equivalent. Lots of parts......................... In this build I shall use this photo as a guide, just with metalic red paint.

Super British classic sports car. Well done Unfortunately Miss Rigg's co-star Patrick Macnee died just last week.

Neat little Euro-Cabrio, Looks very good.

Super cool British sports car! Looks fantastic, well done! There will be a few of these at the British F1 race this weekend just 5 miles from where I'm sitting! Road cars that is.

It's really looking good so far. Another great build on the way!

I'm not a drag racing fan but it just shows what we can do in modelling to build a car using imagination, extra parts and perhaps a few scratchbuilding skills as well! It looks great so far, so aggresive. I'll be watching this build right through.

Superb Jason, I see a few of these each week with Mercedes-Benz UK HQ just up the road!

Cheers shaun.

Hi jb,I'll see if I can get the other pics back. Yes I painted on the yellow line only to have the No. 19 decals collapse under Microsol! I used Revell Clear on the bug screen on the bonnet, it tends to be tacky so holds a little, I then laid one of my thin hobby files behind it and left it overnight to cure. There you go jb all pics back!

Thanks guys, that word Ultraman crops up again Wilson, has anyone got a photo of the box please? Yes Chuck go for it. I also spotted this on Pinterest yesterday...................... Stanced and slammed!

I've still got one of the original Heller Norton Commando's on my shelves. A neighbour bought a Norton Dominator '88' when his dad won the 'Football Pools' back in the 60's, he was old enough to ride it on the road, I wasn't! So I rode on the back.

Another of your great looking stanced builds. Well done.

Very nice finish/styling, very Japanese Bosozuku style!
