If you are a fan of teh Initial D manga series you know this car. And if you don't know the manga series, the AE86 is a iconic Japanese car. 

The kit is a Snap Kit, in 1/32, from Aoshima. The quality as always, is great. This one is molded in white, so you don't see the glossiness on the plastic, compared with other Aoshima kit that are molded in color.

Here the kit boxart.

Nice little car. Did not know that existed in 1/32

Yes, Aoshima do all the Initial D series. Also they do the stock car, and in 1/24 scale.

Those are nice! I haven’t built one but seen one being built by a local friend. But then the 1/24 scale. 
This is my first and also my no1 manga ever! It was nothing better to watch Back then! 

is it your super sweet 1:1?

This is my second one that I build from the Initial D series. The first on was the newly released Nissan Skyline GT-R, also used on the Initial D saga. Also made by Aoshima in 1/32.

Aoshima released the Trueno AE86 this year in 1/24, with driver. I don't know if is a new tooling or not. I know Aoshima already had the kit in 1/24, without driver. I saw the kit, and lookg great, the quality is always top notch on these kits. Make more fun to build them! :D

No the 1/1 is not mine.

Finally I had time to do some painting on the car. I always wanted to do this kind of paint job. 
Still need to finish the body and wheels and tires...
