As an AE86 Trueno 3 Door owner (and Initial D fan), some points in case someone is interested in knowing about the car, to complement the video. Regarding the decal on the driver´s door. The translation in Japanese is "Fujiwara tofu shop (private use)" About the silver thing on the front wheels hub, indeed is a cap, the reason why is on the front wheels and on the rear doesn´t is because the hub itself is different, and the cap has to be there to avoid contaminating with dust and debris the grease which lubricates the bearings. On the steering wheel, the "logo" is not on the horn button, the horn buttons are actually three and they are located on each point of the center hub of the steering wheel, which is made of leather.
Yeah, nice model for sure. I sold mine, but kept the Tofu box for future models haha =P The one thing though that always annoyed me about Initial D 1:18 models is that no company has yet to do them all....or at least do all 4 main cars under one brand. Jada Toys did 1:18 AE86, RX-7 FD and R32 but not the FC. Autoart did the same as Jada but sadly not the FC. Than Kyosho came along and did the AE86, RX-7 FD and FC but didn't do the R32 for some reason. Now Ignition is doing them and so far they only have planned the AE86, FD and FC again...like I don't get why nobody can do more than 3 cars? haha....so annoying. Would be amazing if someone would do all the cars....I always hoped for a 1:18 Nissan Silvia S-13 from the series.
I agree. I always wanted the silvia s13 or the sileighty. Im guessing the reason why these models dont have the complete sets are the popularity, the production costs, or could be something else in between. I think if you wanted the real full sets, you might have to do custom builds or get the 1:24 scale models by Aoshima. But i think 1:24 is too small lol

Thanks for the amazing info! This is gold! Would have loved to own one. But finding one is getting harder and harder every year. Is your rhd or lhd?
