Aoshima Aristo Falcon / Lexus ?

Once again I come too you from work with the fuzzy camera. One day I will have to buy one of my own; either way these are two Aoshima kits that I recently finished of an Ariston Falcon (red) and the Lexus gs400 (silver). The lexus has been stripped and repainted so the paint job isn't all that great, but I figured I would show you any how. Feel free to give my newbie self any tip or opinions. Enjoy Guys !

OPPS I submitted it before I notice the "p" should have been a "g".
Your fast, cause by the time I changed it you had already done it.
Thank you

i deleted so it wouldnt be there twice..... not a problem

Any other Aoshima modelers out there other than the traditional RX-7 or the Combat Skyline that you guys have pics of that you have done?

I have several on my website and I also have one in the gallert. I'm really into their VIP CarsI think I have 9 VIP Car kits:cool:

You have some nice ones. I plan on getting a couple more because I really like the details given and the rims are a cool plus to the package. Can you tell me who make a nissan skyline with the engine.

Tamiya makes the best one with an engine, Aoshima makes the HKS Kansai Service Skyline R-32 with engine detail as well.:)

I have been looking for one with an engine for a while now, but never seem to find any. I guess I will have to find it online cause the hobby store doesn't have that one

ahh another VIP car person Exellent i though it was only me and Tonio
i have 2 but plan on more during the summer.

do you know where Stantons Hobby Shop is? By Lawrence and Milwaukee Ave.
they have a model car contest there every season?:D

both of them looks really nice.

nervestrikes: i got a question, is that the stock height of the Aristo Falcon? (i'm still confuse on the ride height on the aristo falcon vs the other vip aristo kits:p )

Nice aristo.
are there any fitting problems with the kit?

There weren't really any fitting problems that I can think of, but I must say I wish the ride hieght of the Aristo Falcon could have been lower; I built it stock out of the box. One other thing that bothered me about the Aristo Falcon is it didn't come with and bare metal foil like the other one did. Now, the LS400 (thanks for the correction :D ) has a long history because I couldn't get the paint on that one right so I striped it an repainted it. In the process I broke the back lights so I had to paint some on after I shaved of the spots indented for the lights. I also filled the front bumper to cover the fog lamps that used to be there. The LS400 was a keeper even though it looks horrible because of the adjustable spring suspension. I have never been to stanton hobbies because I thought they would be expensive like Pat's Hobbies on 95th street. I had been ordering online because the hobby shop that used to be on Halsted closed. What are the prices like? Hey SpoonMan Dos where did you get those rims and how did you lower the car without killing the details?

What are the prices like?:(

Sorry to say its what it cost to buy 2 Import cars you can only afford one:(

i only go there for accesories and discountinued Aoshima and Fujimi wheels once a month exept winters.(forget it Tonio its a 45 minute trip just getting there just so i could get a set of Lowenharts)

then i go for the contests every quater.:D when you win you get a store discount which i use to buy more wheels

When is the contest cause I wouldn't mind checking that out meeting more modelers. I think that would be cool.

its due on March 29 you really cant meet modelers since its a gallery type deal where you leave your cars overnight. i plan on entering the euro and lowrider classes this year
