cartpix Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Great builds. I've always loved the 2000GT, even though it's a litte querky. Not so much, the LFA, but yours is awesome. I love that color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peekay Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Nice work on both models! I've also built a 2000GT but I like yours better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromecop Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) I really like that "old GT" (even though the other models are nice to! I had that kit many years ago but sold it! However I still have the Airfix convertible in my stash....might even build it some day! Edited May 8, 2014 by Chromecop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMSANUT Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Very cool models and thread. I just scored a set of Studio 27 decals to build the SCCA racer out of the Hasegawa kit I have. BTW, the MPC convertible kit is so very close to 1/24, especially the engine. One is going in my coupe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Jules Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 look excellent. I owned and drove a lot of late 79's Toyotas, loved them, great mechanics, simple and really fun to drive. Wish it was one of those though :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Who makes the best 1/24th scale kit of a Toyota 2000GT? I assume Hasegawa. I don't care one way or another if it's a curbside, or has an engine. And, can any of the 2000GT kits be built portraying the car with left hand drive?

If you have luck, and the $$$, you can get this one: Otherwise, the standard curbside "early production" is still on sale in some places, and there's another curbside race version around that appears every now and then on auction sites. None of them have an LH drive dash, but at least the dash top is symmetrical, so the surgery to "flip it" is probably do-able, but certainly not easy. bestest, M.

niteowl7710 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Fantastic job on both Toyotas. The Hasegawa curbside kit is one of those "eternal" catalog kits, I don't think it's ever been out of production. There have been a few other variations like the race version, and the metal engine kit you've shown above, but the baseline kit is 001 of the Historic Car Series. You can always backorder it at HLJ, and it's selling for less than $20 with the exchange rate. Just got one in last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
