1/24 Toyota Corolla GT (AE86) Initial D kit (WIP)

Posted by marcopreto on Wednesday, May 6, 2009 4:18 AM

Hi:

Here are some photos this model (Fujimi's Initial D AE86kit).

I decided to detail and make some corrections to the underside (it was porly detailed):

And here's the interior:

I'm still painting the body shell, but I hope to post some new photos soon.

Cheers

Hi:

I finally get back to this model.

This last weekend, I've worked a bit on the rear suspension, but it isn't completed yet. Here are some photo:

I hope to complete building these parts soon!

Cheers

I love the AE-86. what are using for the rear coils?

Thank you all for your kind comments!

The coils in the rear suspension were made with 0.3 mm copper wire, enveloped around a 4.0 mm drill bit (if my memory is correct).
