Part one of my order and also my next project

Part one of my order arrived from www.1999.co.jp today and i must say i'm very impressed by the service. It was placed 8 days after a order from HLJ and they both arrived together today:)
The HLJ is not for me but for another person in our club but this is part one off my order...the rest is on backorder AS SOMEBODY AROUND HERE BROUGHT ALL THE RIMS FROM HLJ !!!!

The Altezza will probably be the next project now it has arrived. It will use the AMC wheels that came today(they are bloody neat!)

:cool:

Ahh, I love the smell of new model kits in the morning!!!:bandit:

Cool selection, what do u have planned for the Altezza?

We've not seen a race or rally kit from u for some time so i look 4ward to seeing the Pug done.;)

wow. that altezza looks great. and i can't wait until i see your peug finished. everyone else on these boards w/ those kits make them look great, and i can't wait to see another one. those cars look menacing!!!!

The Altezza is one of the better Fujimi kits Warren, I felt they captured the look of the Lexus well!
As ever we look forward to your updates and a guaranteed finished product.
What are the plans regarding colour etc.
Also, will you build the Pug box stock or add a decal set such as below?

The Altezza will be painted in Tamiya Chrome Yellow, lowered, big exhaust and the wheels from the pic.
I'm really in love with these cars at present and this will be built the same colour/wheels as one that is for sale down the road that the PMan is very keen on buying !!.....i may have to become the *AMan*...lol...but we will see, its abit out of my price range but we are talking :)

The Pug.....i brought it as everyone else is doing one so i thought why not get one. At this stage no plans, but will probably get done as a road version.

can you snap some pics of the rims for us? and can you post the link where the rims are located in 1999.co.jp ??? Thanks Pman :frog:

I look forward to seeing both of those kits done,
Does that Altezza come with a rear spoiler?

Hey P man, I just finished building the Apex Altezza and it's not a bad kit. Although the side skirts need a bit of work to get them to fit properly. I didn't build the kit as the race car though, I painted it tamiya racing white.

nice man!

yea i think i should order from Hobby Search..

i gotta try that site out..

cool. id love to see the altezza Pman style. cant wait to see some progress

I like the sound of this! Keep the rear wing on it though IMO as it looks a bit bare without! Some killer rims and you are away!;) :D

Ditto...they look so much better with the rear wing.
You are reading my mind about the big rims :)

That is one nice looking BELGIAN Pug!!:ylsuper

This years version of Bruno Thiry is even cooler :D :D

The Altezza looks like a Lexus IS200, at least that's how they are sold in Belgium :confused:

Is that am AMG C-Class on the left there and if so what brand is that? :confused: Never seen it before.

It's the pretty much the same car. Toyota Altezza is aka Lexus IS200/300.

pman - i've been waiting for you to do an altezza. i'm sure it'll look awesome. can't wait to see some pics.

OMG PMan!!!!! You pick out some damned fine models- I'm currently on an "I want an Aleetza " kick- so this should be interesting. Of course the Pug is swwet too- gl on turning it into a road-going version though :D

Here's a sneak pic of what i hope it will turn out like. Well be starting a thread on it ...these are the rims i hope to use. The body panels dont fit that well but should be OK.
Today i cut the grill out of the front bumper as it was all molded as one. Mesh well be added in its place
