lordairgtar Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Helix Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Was at my LHS this morning getting some supplies and stumbled across these, every so often, he gets a few old kits in..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyser Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) 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. Driver in movie was Aki (Akiko Wakabayashi).

Helix Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 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????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott 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. Edited November 22, 2014 by lordairgtar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Like that Mustang kit Carl. I was at Hobby Lobby today hoping to get another but none on the shelf. : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
