So I randomly got this idea to do models for all the major cars from the old Japanese Manga/Anime Initial D. Just curious if anyone has ever done this and if they've got tips for specific model kits to avoid? I've found the following kits so far.

85 Toyota AE 86 - Aoshima

99 Mazda RX-7 FC3S - Aoshima

Mazda RX7 FD3S - Aoshima

05 Subaru Impreza WRX - Fujimi

Nissan Silvia Kit - Tamiya

Nissan Skyline R32 - Tamiya

Lancer Evo IV - Hasegawa

Kits I haven't found yet:

Honda Civic SiR II (EG6)

Sileighty (RPS13)

Lancer Evo III

Thoughts? Tips? Gripes? Complaints? :D

Are you interested in getting a group together to do this as a community build? If you are, try having a mod move it there and you may have some luck with it.

If he doesn't reply here, you might want to send martinfan a pm. He has built several of them.

VTi instead of Sir-II. Body is the same, wheels are different. I've built an SiR. One of the first cars I did when I got back in the hobby early this year. I don't think there were any fitment issue, as with most of the Japanese curbside kits

Not really looking to do a community, just a long term project goal of mine. I want to have them all lined up like a set. :D

Thanks for the links Danny and O-man! I'll add them to my bookmarks folder for purchase later. :)
