That's right, I'm back (again!) and this time I bring with me an AE86 COUPE! no, not Initial D, sorry :grinno:

I've shaved off the side moldings and did the initial sanding on the body.
The first pic shows a test fit of the side skirts (from another Levin kit), front lip and rear spoiler.

And this is how it looks with the wheels.

I think it's excellent so far!! I have the same kit but don't know how I wanna build it. Coupes are cool.

Can't go wrong with a Hachi. It looks like it'll be pretty nice.

Looks like its going to be really good.
How makes this kit? I have those same rims with my Fujimi, so I'm guessing Fujimi?

What's BG?
no, not doing 2 tone, I don't like 2 tone, it's over used and lame.

The side skirts, front lip and rear spoiler is on! But they still need some putty work. I also made the rear mud guards bigger, cause it looks fake.
