In Progress Levin

This is the Fujimi Trampio version but I'm going to do it street.
Wheels are from the Aoshima Jun Prelude with 18" rims. Paint will probably black pearlescent with CF hood. Planning on using SAS seats & brakes. Rear bumper still needs a bit of putty work - I'll keep you posted.

i saw a very thick mould line on the front....you haven't sand it down man ? or you intending to modify the bumper ?

nice, please post more pics and keep up the good work

The kit has very prominent mould lines but I haven't started to prepare the body for the color coat as yet.

rims look perfect on the Levin. What rims are the lip from? are you gonna keep the rims gold? black would look sinister on a black car with polished lip. then again so would gold...
the mock-up looks promising, cant wait to see the finished product.

I'm not exactly sure where the lips are from but I think Aoshima 18" BBS
Thanks
Andy

cool so far andy, I'm sure you'll do this kit justice!

A bit of progress and a slight change of plan - decided on white with semi-gloss black.

Looking far better than I expected it to! I like the 2-tone look :)

that is going to be one killer levin... great paint job

Lookin good

really nice andy

The 2-tone looks really cool!!

Looking very clean.. Keep it up! :smile:

very, very nice. I can't wait to order my stuff from HLJ...

if that trueno was edible, it would have slobber all over it! but i wouldn't eat it cuz its too purty

Nice work....Very clean work, esp with a two tone paint job with colors from opp. sides of the spectrum.

awesome panda levin dude...looks really sweet...sorta like something you'd see doing the mountain runs in japan.
laters, WIDE

lol it wouldnt matter if it's edible or not to me, i'll cover it in slobber like it was strawberry cheese cake

Wow that is looking awesome. I hope to one day do a replica of the red Levin used in Drift Bible, thats one slick machine!

Here's where I am currently - I've decided to use the Advan rims on another project so will use Exclusive Matrasse instead.

D@mn you Andy now I have to go and buy one of these kits. :lol:

I liked the old rims better, or it may just be the gold with polished lip that I liked. Have you considered painting the inner portion of these wheels gold like the advans were? :dunno:

whatever you decide, it'll turn out HAWT!

waw! that's sweet dude... great build. just one question, will it sit like that when it's finished?

Built the suspension this afternoon and the ride height will be slightly higher than when the wheels were just resting on the chassis.

btw I think I got the rims wrong - I don't think they're exclusive Matrasse after all but can't remember what they are ! :confused:

The rims look like wedsports.
