Here's a Toyota Corolla tuner

This is Tamiya's mid-80's Toyota Corolla/Trueno. I built it mostly box stock but added aftermarket wheels/tires from Aoshima. The paint color and interior colors were meant to replicate my Sentra, since there is no such animal in plastic. The paint is touch-up lacquer, sprayed from a can and cleared, then rubbed out. Any comments and questions are most welcomed!

Here's another one of the Corolla.

Another picture. The taillights on this car were from a second kit I have. The original lenses were painted in their stock configuration and I thought I'd try doing a clear lens with colored sections to make it look more like a tuner-style car.

Here's a better look at the taillights.

wheels look really out of scale... maybe lower it a bit? i like the T-bird alot though

Nice licence plate! Looks good, but belongs in a different forum.

It would look a little better if it were a bit lower but I wanted to fill the wheel openings. If the tires were lower profile it would've helped too.

Which forum are you suggesting it be in?

The Completed and In-Progress Projects forum that you will find above this one. :smile:

Great job.Love the colour.:bigthumb:

That looks very similar to my 1991 Mazda MX-6 LX that I used to have. Same color and very similar style wheels too.



:twak:

Very nice build very good color choice for it also. but i also have to say the wheels are way to large for this car something smaller would pull the over all look if the car together more.

Nice... first time I have seen a model AE92

That's cool!

awesome tail lights.:iceslolan

i like the color. good job. :thumbsup:

:cool:

It looks terrific.

I am trying to finish mine.

One question.

How do you convert the dash for LHD? :confused:

Juan, if I remember correctly, the Tamiya Corolla Hatchback kit had a LHD dash. I believe that's where mine came from. I also built the hatch, which I left as a RHD car. I'll try and show some pics of it too.
