    Aoshima Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (C-West Version)

    I feel like I’ve been building nothing but crazy widebodies and resin transkits for the last year or two – it’s been a long time since I’ve just built something simple and mostly out-of-the-box. Nowadays I feel like I don’t even bother looking at kits that don’t have an extensive resin-printed parts aftermarket. All that being said, I really didn’t…

I’ve had this Tamiya Supra and the Hobby Design Modification Kits set sitting around for literal years – for some reason it was just tough to always force myself back into this build.

    Fujimi Toyota MR2 [AW11]

    I mentioned during my SW20 build that I was planning on building the entire MR2 line – but I didn’t think I’d be doing it this quickly. I never had any special connection to the AW11, despite being a ZZW30 owner. The SW20s were always the cooler kids that got all the attention for being fast and sleek, while us…
