Those are awesome! Where did you get them?

Wonder why I've never seen that on a 1:1 truck?

He does really good work. I wish I was half the builder he is...


And FYI that 240ZG hasn't been cleared or rubbed out yet. When finished it will be smooth and shiny just like the RX7.


Don't know if I already posted these in this thread, but here's some more of his work.

MR2:



And some more pics of the RX7:

And another RX7 from the show...

Those are retardedly good.

The slam locks are from Don Mills Models, the door handles on the 720 didn't look all that great and the tailgate was missing the latches.

any chance you have a 79 corolla built? or for sale. i remember when i was younger i loved doing this but never found any interesting cars that i liked...that and i didnt have money when i was little lol

Check either HLJ(hobby link Japan.. hlj.com) or search Hobby World. are a bunch of sources listed earlier in this thread. I believe that fujimi made a late seventies corolla. I know that they(fujimi) make a Mango or close to that vintage, I have a couple. Hlj will list the kit if it is made, even if they don't have it. Then go search a couple of the others sites to see if you can get it. I have three or four sites that I get my stuff from japan from. Usually, if one doesn't have it, one of the others will.
