so this is my first post here. ive been building models since i was like 6 but they were straight out of the box. this is my first attempt with styrene so instead of starting with something easy, ill be building a whole body kit and extras.

cool kit !! i just saw one similair (not the same) finished by someone on a dutch forum..

i always loved these ae86's

[JoeBrown]

omg i know i wish i had a real one! but i do have a supra! lol

[Zarana-X]

Nice start, Aoshima does not dissapoint. I kick myself for not gettign this from my LHS when they had it marked down to $12.

[JoeBrown]

i payed $35 shipped for it! $12 is a hell of a deal!

[JoeBrown]

heres a small update

[scalemodelworld]

Lookin' good so far

[TOYCARTEC]

I wish I still had my 1:1 1985 Corolla GTS Coupe. It would fly for a 4 cylinder.

[JoeBrown]

ok update! since this is a hatchi and the interior tub that came with it didnt have any hatch area details i figured i would add some! so i cut out the back seats. and btw i love jdm and i love drift cars so this car is gonna be like a car from formulaD/d1gp

[JoeBrown]

and the final 2 pics of the night

[Modelbuilder Mark]

Nice work so far, I like the idea of giving the back area the look of the seat down.

[JoeBrown]

thank you! this is my first time working with styrene and i really like it!

[pancake]

Nice Ima keep and eye on this build

[JoeBrown]

i finally got some work done on this since im still burned out from working on my 1:1 supra. and i bought my next project!

I dig it man. Got some good things going. 86 owner approved.

Just some advice for them rear seats. This version doesn't have a "T" shape when you pull the seats down. It's just a square shape with a seam on the middle as they are a left and right side.

If you want some great reference pics go to www.club4ag.com there's a section where people post their builds of their cars.

does anyone where or if anyone is making a resin 2jz?

[mademan]

Looking good! I just bought this kit, and the "notch back" kit and am goind to bash them into a full detail notch.

Check out BNA models or The Parts Box. They have a resin 2JZ, 13B rotary, and the SR20... all popular AE86 swaps.
