I got an MPC Toyota 2000 GT today in the mail. I've been seeking this one out for a long time. Missing tires but not a hard thing to replace. Also was missing the girl driver figure...that might be a bit harder to find.

Interesting, I never would have expected MPC to produce a kit of sure a rare Japanese sports car. I now kinda want one just because it exists (And yes I know that other manufacturers make a kit of the 2000).

I too would like to see Round 2 reissue this one. The only problem I could see with the kit, is could only be built as a James Bond type convertible. I think the MPC kit had no official ties the James Bond franchise. But, Toyota only built two 2000GT convertibles. Both for the movie "You Only Live Twice." Still I want the kit.

The tires melt the wheels badly, so avoid OEM's (Airfix/Heller kits had them, this was Airfix kit reboxed). Track down Airfix Little Nelly Autogyro kit (1/24, re-issued in last 10yr) to put with it, same movie. Great kit, lots of detail, can build as Bond car. I'm idiot, buy them when I see them. 3 unbuilts and a builder. I've got a builder with melted wheels and tires I'm bashing with an Otaki/Nitto coupe with mags, to give it engine/detail. Hasegawa kit nice too. Good luck with build. :D

Driver in movie was Aki (Akiko Wakabayashi). You Only Live Twice

Got this Cobra die cast from ebay today. Not rare but a limited version with red tires. Just another Cobra for the collection.

Guys this is strange, I didn't purchase those kits above, I put this in the 'Obscure' topic, somehow it's ended up in this topic?????

Yes, now that I finally obtained a decent version of this kit,(no glue bomb) Round 2 will see fit to reissue it. LOL. But i do need the girl (Kissy Suzuki) driver that originally came with the car.

Made a Hobby Lobby run today. Selection was kind of low but managed to spend some cash. 3 of the paints were only 2.22 each. The 1/16 resin slicks are for my Lindberg Bull Horn project which I have yet to start.
