AE86 from 2 years ago

I found these pics floating around on my computer so I decided to post them. This is after a year of modeling, and before I found AF. I've definitely improved my skills through this site...so thanks all you guys who've helped me out!

Very cool replica! I don't remember Takumi's Hachiroku's interior being beigish brown, though?

The taillights are first of all, incorrectly painted. Secondly, they aren't very realistic. It's just thinned out red and orange. My fixed version looks much better!

The Fujimi Touge kits for 4AG equipped cars always have very wide rear wheels, anyone know a way to fix that problem?? I mean running 255 tires in the back of a MR2 or an AE86 all I'd comment is "this car can't drive" :finger: so something that'd look like in its 185-205 size will make the kit look so much more realistic, however, both in the MR2 and AE86 the rear wheel itself is used as a spacer to make the wheels sit farther from the center than usual, and Fujimi aftermarket wheels are too "bling bling" for cars in this era, so anyone knows where I can find some old school (not watanabes) wheels that is relatively narrower?

Also if I want to order separate parts in Canada what can I do? The "AW11 MR2 Kyoko Edition kit" has the wheels I need but I don't need the whole car so....
