Rak's Tofu Runner

If you didn't know that I am an AE86 enthusiast, well now you do. going on 10 years of owning one and about 15 years of liking them. waaay before the anime series Initial D hit the commercial side of entertainment and the popularity of drifting in the US. Anyways, I'm not here to talk about me, it's about Raks Tofu runner.

It makes me happy to see someone paying attention to the details. he has detailed the chassis, engine bay, gave it the "panda" paint job and the interior resembles that of the real thing. the kit he is using is from aoshima. it's one of the best kits out there of the AE86.

Heres a reminder of where he was. 

Now heres the update as of today. weathered chassis to give it that driven, not parked look. as a bonus he has added what look to be the parking and brake lines. very nice touch. 

Here it is all in white sporting the classice Watanabe wheels.

Heres a closer look at the Wats, they are wrapped in old school Pirreli Sport tires.

Getting it ready for the "panda" paint job. which is just a 2 tone black on white. the lower portions along with the arches are painted black. 

And here it is after it's been shot with black. looks good and it a classic look for the AE.

 All pics belong to Rak.

Stay tuned for more of this one. as I said before, Rak some some great talent and it shows very well.

Thanks for stopping by.
