This is what Ive done so far on my Aoshima Celica LB 2000GT.
The wheels are Aoshima BBS RG, which look to be about 17's. Since this is my second model theres a few stuff ups but u cant really see them in the pics :p LOL just noticed i forgot to do the panel lines on the fuel filler :rofl: learning is fun
Painted in Taminya TS21 Gold

Decals and bare metal foil added and cleared with TS13, yet to be polished.

Nice Car!!! love the colour!
Wheels look good as well.. but one question, are you going to detail the wheels? like paint the center cap? THe wheel looks a bit like "toy" at the moment. But other than that ... looks very good!

NICE!! have you though about painting the inner wheel flat black and leaving the outer rim and lip chrome? would look mean and race ready...
BTW I LOVE TH GOLD!! If my prior Skyline would not be in Gold I would have painted the Datsun gold too..

Looks great in gold! :D
I saw one of these Celicas in the parking lot this morning at work, but it didn't look this good. ;)

Jay, there are lots of them around here, sell cheaply also. When I was looking for my SR5, I found a 72 1600gt, in fair condition, 5speed, yellow, it was nice but had a long 2'' wide rust line across the passenger door, if it had not been for that, I might've purchased it, seeing as it had 98k miles, all it's checkups done at a toyota dealership, receipts and such to prove it, guy only wanted 1500usd for it, BBV was like 2k or something.

Great work on the paint. Looks really hot.
The car looks almost like a mix between a Mustang, and an AMC.

Its been polished now as you can see from all the crap in the panel lines and Im in the process of making a custom speaker mesh grill. Managed to slice myself for the first time today, now i feel like a real modeler :icon16:

All the chrome bits have to be stripped and bare metal foiled as the smart people at aoshima decided to join them to the part tree on all the showing faces :screwy:

It has a more brownish look to it than gold, but it could just be me.

I definitely like it. It has a sort of 1970 AMC Javelin/1967 Dodge Charger thing going with its styling, and that's a good thing since those are two of my favorite muscle cars.
One thing, though, is the grille finished? I ask because it looks kind of rough around its edges.
