Once you build a quality model like a tamiya, you will never go back to those 10$ revell/amt models. Note that revell germanh has quality models and are way different then revell usa

I got the Aoshima model before it sold out, I prefer their version to Tamiya's they put a lot of effort into it and it offers the FR-S/86/GT86 in both LHD and RHD

Bought some paint today, there's a sky blue Gallardo around here and I've very much fallen in love with the colour so will give that a go!

Loving your built thus far, keep it up!

Sure, probably later on tonight.

Here you go, forgot to mention Aoshima are still working on the engine so that will be released seperately.

Agreed, I think they decided to proceed with the engine after everything else was finalized.

I'll pick up Tamiyas kit as well if I see it.

Not to derail this thread but Tamiya also makes a 1:10 scale touring car body for those people who do R/C...I posted these in off topic but i feel like theyre justified here too





Under the body:


And with my real one
