Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86 Tuned トヨタ スプリンタートレノ AE86

Description

Welcome to my review of the 1/18 Scale Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86 Special Tuned Version made by AUTOart. If you were lucky enough to snag this model while it was in production, good on ya. It's fantastic! As with pretty much everything AUTOart makes, the detailing is superb and the likeness is spot-on. The positives are all there. The carbon fiber printing on the hood, the sweet driver's seat, the pop-headlights, I even love how the the parcel shelf is connected by cables and is fully adjustable. If I had to pick some drawbacks...they'd probably be the fragile license plate on the front, which was broken off before I even removed the model from the box for the first time, and the fact that this model is no longer in production with the "Panda" paint scheme. Sure AUTOart still has it available in red, but it just looks...wrong. Interestingly AUTOart has made a handful of variations of the AE86 Trueno. There is the standard, no-frills car, which comes in red or white. There is this model which also comes in red or white. Then there is the Japan-only Initial D version. I happen to own the Initial D version as well. It's pretty similar to the Tuned version with the addition of a Fujiwara Tofu Ten (藤原とうふ店) decal as well as rainguards on the windows, a modified interior roof with maplights (as well as a sunroof, even though there is no exterior sunroof), and also a cup of water on the dashboard. Maybe i'll do a video on that version someday... You might want to invest in <b>...</b>
