Toyota Eagle Mk I I I

[Brendan]

Finished the Toyota last weekend. It is an M & S Hobbies kit. Paint is Tamiya Acrylics and TS-26 and TS-49 decanted and airbrushed. Send the kit back to M & S Hobbies so he could use it as a display at the NNL East. So if you go, drop by and say hello. Definitely recommend this kit. Some small issues came up but they are easily fixed. You can follow along the build in the Workbench Section. Still have one more version to do. It should be done in a couple of weeks. Comments welcomed. Thanks for looking.

Very nice clean build. I always liked the relatively stark paint scheme on that car. Somehow it makes it look faster. I will be sure to check it out at NNL East next week. I may just have to get one.

Great job as usual!

Following it on the workbench section was also very nice.

Thanks for sharing!

My GTP is about 95% done so this will be the IMSA month

Looks great, and I enjoy seeing the final product since I had a hand in the design of the kit.

I see Studio27 is doing these soon

Though it's going to be a lot more $$, but dayum...

Thanks for the comments.

As for the Studio 27 kit, you're probably looking at about $160 for the kit and the body of the car is incorrect. Compared to M & S Hobbies kit, which is $120. The body is more accurate and was approved by Dan Guerney.

I'm hoping I'll get my paint soon. It seems like everyone is having a hard time getting Tamiya spray paint in stock. So hopefully I'll have the other kit done so I can have these two displayed together at a show.

S27 is closer to $200; the kit is 197,600 yen, roughly $193 at today's conversion. But there's a whole lot of pro-Japanese builders out there that will automatically assume that if it comes from Japan, it's better. Or if it's more expensive, it's worth it. I'm feeling the pain of spending $160 for a very limited resin kit of a Saab 96 coming from Finland. 100 Euros is tough to swallow at today's conversion rate
