Tamiya Toyota 86

This was built several months ago for Scale Auto review; after it was finished I removed the stock wheels/tires and replaced them with AVS Model 5's, with a slightly lower stance (it sits better on the driver's side vs. the passenger side, on this RHD model). Just got around to taking photos of it w/the new rolling stock. Paint is Testors Acryl Cobalt Blue, thinned with acetone to flow nicely through the airbrush, though it also required a bit of universal retarder as well for a smooth flow (it was laying down nicely, but dry-spray "pebbles" were making the surface rough). Clear is decanted U-Pol power can clear. Since I want Aoshima's upcoming BRZ STI, guess I'll have to build that one in something other than WRC Blue









These were part of the review; you can see the stock wheels...some of my least-favorite factory wheels of all time
