The father...

This one of my favorite builds until it got smashed but no worries, I bought 2 kits at the same time so...

This and all of the other builds I have going will be finished eventually but I just do what I can when I can Thanks all.

Can't wait! The rims are going to look great. Mind sharing the details about what happened to the orange one?

Fun kit, ain't it?! I had a blast building mine...and I got mine after seeing yours.

I almost bought a second one myself, to attempt an RX3 conversion since the two are so similarly shaped. Hallelujah to Fujimi for saving me the trouble

! Soon I'll have a pair of RX3's that'll be hittin' the redline buzzer at 8,500rpm and showing the TE-27 their taillights

!

I have 2 RX3's coming myself! If I come across another TE kit, I'm gonna rebuild the orange one as well since I still have the wheels from it Old-School is where it's at!!! Oh, the orange one was "totalled" due to my stupidity

Oh crap... not again. honestly this is probably my favorite build by you as most of the kits i own are late 60's to late seventies Japanese kits. ive always looked at those Orange TE pics when needing motivation to build a kit from this era. Sadly i think i forgot this was one of the cars you lost in the "smash-up". RIP

looking forward to this build but id love to see "Papa" return one day. thanks for this build it means alot to me.

edit: this just came to me... do the orange one again and youll have the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost!

Howdy. This one's been painted in another color and is currently on deck to be finished pretty soon.

chyknees · 12-24-2005, 04:02 PM

SpoonMan Dos · 12-29-2005, 04:27 PM

That looks very cool...good to see the TE-27 was down but not forgotten!

I was about to purchase a Te27 Levin today but didn't maybe I will now, as your is looking really great.
I'm with you about the Old Skool, I have a few old jap car to build next year.
What wheels were on the Orange one?

You won't be disappointed, the lines/proportions of the body are very good. Here's the one I built a while back:

I'm looking forward to working w/the new Fujimi RX3 soon.
