hi guys,

This is my recent attempt to build Keiichi Tsuchiya's AE86 for the coming SR Garage Celica/AE86 Meet next month. Its not 100% accurate to the real car, but nevertheless, this is my very first Fujimi AE86 build. Rims are Aoshima BBS RS II.

(hint: most of the plastic parts of this car model just do not fit)

I like this one! :biggrin: :sunglasse :bigthumb:

Did you see his "new" car? I think he runs a Turbo blacktop 20V 4AG now and also sports a GT wing for rear traction.

Looks like a fine replica to me!
Did the rear spoiler come with the kit or did you fab it up?
I think Keiichi would be proud!

Thanks for the comments....

Apexi_N1... the bonnet pins are from Tamiya Evo5 WRC... :smile:

Honoturtle... yeah...i saw his "new" car with the gt wing, but i prefer AE86 without gt wing... :smile:

675datsun.... i fab the rear spoiler using some ply cards and Tamiya basic putty... :smile:

Maybe because of the light filters...that why the bonnet appears to look like velvet...I will try to get some outdoor pictures tomorrow... :smile:

Good job bro!! It may not be 100% accurate, but I'd say it's 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999% accurate so it's close enough!! LOL Very clean work.

Wow looks fantastic. Awesome build. Just a question, where did you get your referance pics? Cos i have tons and tons of AE86 pics, but none of Tsuchiyas.
Again, awesome build.

I have taken a outdoor picture, hoping to show some shine on the bonnet. Sad to say the weather is not sunny today.

SkylineFan...I don't think there's a exact kit from Fujimi, but you can use any fujimi AE86 trueno as a base car.

ozstrider... My reference is from the Hot Version AE86 Club vcds.
