Is this MR2 kit rare ?? I thought Fujimi still makes it.
Actually this MR2 kit originates from Nitto who did a non-supercharged version.
I have this MR2 kit in its T-bar roof version on my workbench and
spent some time narrowing the rear wheel wells:
the rear wheels in the kit are 13 scale inches wide !
The wheels in my kit are the 'phone dial' type that were fitted by Toyota later on.
There's two sets of front struts in the kit (extended and lowered), make sure you use the right ones.
I cut one of the spare struts vertically and fitted these inside the rear wheel wells.
If you want to show the engine details, remember to separate the engine lid from the trunk lid,
it is a single part in the kit.
Nice old kit, keeps you busy for a while but it looks good.
About those brake discs, apart from the 'scratches' they look pretty much like the
ones Toyota fitted to the real thing
Enjoy,

It's gonna be painted in automotive mica blue, which is absolutely the most gorgeous blue i've laid my eyes on. Now about those rims... they just look puny... but as this kit is rare, i'd like to use as many box parts as possible... now i'm in a quandry..
