Hello Guys,
This is my first model. It's a Fujimi Levin GT Apex. I have sprayed it for the first time with a airbrush ( cheap Revell one), and after that sanded it with 2000 sandpaper and rubbed and waxed with Tamiya's compund and wax.
Parts used :
- Fujimi Buddy Club Wheels
- Fujimi Brake kit
- CF Bonnet (CF from SAS)
- Selfmade CF exhaust
- Lowered the rideheight
- Focus WRC mirrors
The car isn't completely finished.
I need to learn alot of things, but this forum realy helps :biggrin:

I love it!!! Some grey or silver panel lines would really bring it to life but you've truly done an excellent job on it!! Could you get a close-up pic of the wheels?:sunglasse

When i opened the box i was a little dissapointed. On the box you see the wheels with a black inside and a chrome outside. So i made it with a piece of alloy tape and cut it the way i liked it. In real it lookes much better as on the photo....

Nice Levin! I love it~ White is such a good color for these cars. Good choice of wheels! I need to get my hands on some brakes (I didn't put any in my :P )
Looks like we can start a "AE86 meet" soon :)

I can answer that for you~ The exhaust is absolutly fine the way Polog40VW did it. Fujimi didn't do a good job for the underbody. The rear axle area aren't suppose to be flat and blocked off but it's still pretty accurate visually. The pipe from the cat, goes up over the rear axle, and it comes back down behind it, connecting to the muffler. No problem there :smile:
