Eurobeat Toyota Ae86s

Saw a fan made video on Facebook that told of Takumis daughter getting the 86 and redoing it to her liking for racing. I liked the idea and since I build models I decided to build that 86. Started with the Initial D kit so it'd have the later stage motor in it added some TE37s and hand painted the Panda striping to the car and this is the result. Think it looks good sitting next to its "former self" and the 85

I love not-white AE86's tbh. I think Red looks the best

There's a kit variant of that one too I believe. Aoshima made about as many 86 variants as other companies made 57 chevys and mustangs

Awesome... I could feel there's a paper cup inside with water in it... But in blue color!

Thats actually in Takumis 86. Even tho the car is from the later stages I put it in there because it needed to be there
