Thanks to ratdat for the flares! After all that work to modify the wheel archs Ive got to change it now so the wheels fill out the flares Its going to be one of those models

[jgmodelcars]

cool. dig the old school flares!

[Layla's Keeper]

Man, those flares make that car look mean.

Glad to see you're back at this one.

[ratdat]

Cool, you got them It looks great with those on it

[bergerac54]

Ok, a bit off topic, but this is my RA28 2000GT LB painted with TS21 Gold, clear to come.

[tonioseven]

Looks great!! Mine has beenm painted Italian red.

[vwman]

Looks very cool

It's looking really cool with those flares and if you want more reference pics i have such a celica so just let me know.

Ok its been a while since Ive done any work on this one but I recieved the Acu Stion upgrade kit for it and decided to pulllit out again. Im thinking this kit is too good for this model with my experimental modifications so Im going to build a stock version of the kit with it.




Ive had another change of direction. I decided to expand the flares a bit and make then into a bit more of a body kit and go for a bit of a street racer look, the puttys a bit rough in the pic but you get the general idea. The mouse in the pic is painted in tamiya mica red and Im thinking this is the color Im going to paint the celica.

[Honoturtle]

I like the info plate on the detail set. Can't wait for the parts to go on.

Cool mouse, didn't know people painted them.

man these silly-cars (dumb arse speak for celica if you hadn't guessed) rock...and old mate of my had one with a 18RG (i think that was it) shoved in it...handled like a kart and could rip the balls off a LS1 engineed new monaro (all you's american people that is what you new GTO coupe is...a POS holden new monaro.. )
sorry for the lil off topic there....but that is a sick model dude.

im looking at buying either that or a hakosuka kit next

anything wrond with this kit>?

we don't have the new Goats yet. And, it's your opinion that the holden monaro GTS, btw it's the brother of the GTS not the regular coupe, is a POS. I personally like them, and if all goes well, two years from now I'll be driving one closest to the carousel orange used on the judge.
