Default AE86 Coupe.

Since I haven't shared anything with XMS lately, here's my latest project.

AE86, Trueno Coupe.





Rear's mounted, front's in progress.

Left to do:

Bodywork (Minimal, wide fenders on rear?)
Damage (Dents, zipties, etc.)
Partial Interior
Flip-up lights? Maybe only half-up?
Rear tow hook, maybe with drift charm?

Some inspirational pics:





Paint scheme like this, not sure about the silver though. Yellow?

Kyosho Mini-Z's do not make Levin's though...

This project is off to a very good start, I like the starting progress too, remember keep patient with your work. Can't wait to see the final result, definitely more unique for being a model kit and a Levin instead of a typical Z-Trueno.

Ehhhh not so happy about the paint... The masking was bad. I'll probably sand it down again and repaint, or maybe just touch up the spots.





I did wetsand it though, so that's why the paint looks dull.
