AE86 Levin (Fujimi Curbside, minor mods)

A quick & simple build for a local Meet, my take on the Anime version of Wataru Akiyama's (秋山 渉) Levin Turbo.

I've got one too many Kouki versions of the GTV Levin, so reverse-mod one of it into a Zenki-front, with some light corrections to the old fujimi mould & minor changes to the front bumper.

Prefer to leave the rear lamp cluster as it is.

Minor changes to make it a Zenki front.

Simple disc brakes made from the originals & bits of sprue.

Chassis remains unchanged, just some dirt & road grime.

Small changes to the dash & handbrake (fujimi's mould comes with TE71 handbakres, go figure).

Quick interior with bucket seat & belts, went overboard with making it look used.
