I got the Levin model, I'm pretty sure it's pretty much the same except for the body. They should all be the same quality except for it's contents. The Tohge version comes with extra decals. I got the "Midnight" version. Well, I'll tell you one thing, it doesn't come with brakes!!!!!!

I've got both the versions described and they share parts. The only difference is the body. They have extra parts included-like driving lights extra seats, steering wheels, and some other small accesories. The detail in these older kits is not a good as Fujimi's current releases. They can be compared to the Revell kits of about 5 years ago. The chassis is typical of older Fujimis where they share a chassis with some other kits. The rear is a solid metal axle and the front wheels are held on with some screws to the steering knuckle/hub. It can be made to look well with some extra work. No other manufacturer currently has one so if you want one, Fujimi is the only way to go.

I also own one, hence the nickname (LOL, but I don't have a turbo for it)
Have 2 model waiting to be build. Fujimi has the entire AE86 line up covered! well, except the Black Limited. Anyways, for an old kit, it's very accurate. The rear brake lights assembly are different for early and late models, as well as the bumpers. But yeah, you don't get any brakes and that sucks! If you want stickers, get the Touge version. Both Initial D versions (Trueno and Levin) comes with Racing bucket seats and R33 Skyline parts?! I believe all the AE86 kits comes with roll cage. I also have lots of pics. Ask here on AF if you need any reference pics |

Ok thanks for the replies guys!
i would really appreciate those pics some of you offered to post, of the real cars(lucky bastards!:finger: ) and the kits some of you made. I've been searching Hlj and decided on 2 kits, but don't know what exactly differs from one another. Can someone please clarify? thanks!   PS: if i decide to to buy more than one kit from HLJ (i've never ordered from them before) am i charged individual shipping charges for all kits, or is there a reduced rate on shipping when buying more than one kit?

I built a Fujimi Initial D 86. It wasn't the most detailed thing in the world. But at least it looks like an 86. It can be made to look nice.
