Hey guys,
I bought the Aoshima Toyota 86 kit (without the engine) last month and it arrived about two, three weeks ago. When I looked through it I noticed the hood does not get glued and there's a large space under the hood. I guess you guys know where this is going. I've been searching around for anyone or place that sells the engine whether it be plastic or resin. So far I havent had any luck until about half an hour ago when I stumbled into this website:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Aoshi...041733371.html
I've never heard of this site so I did another google search looking for other vendors that sell this part. That website has a model number so I searched "aoshima fa20." Nothing. Although, in that search i came across this site (
http://www.freewebs.com/briffak/toyota86.htm ) in which the person mentioned he/she was able to purchase the engine separately and provides the tree number. Another search was done. Again, nothing.
So my questions are, has anyone bought from this site before? Any info someone may have of this site? Does anyone know if Aoshima ever sold the engine individually? Did they discontinue selling it or did this person contact Aoshima to purchase the engine tree from them? Does anyone make resin kits of the engine? I could have sworn 81 was selling it, but i visited their site and nope.
Thanks for a moment of your time and for any info you guys can provide.
