Aoshima A004278 1/24 Toyota Soarer 2000VR Turbo

"Gra-chan" ("Grand Champion") is a very cool series of custom car models reminiscent of the hopped-up cars of the '80s.

This entry is a customized 1971 Toyota 10 Soarer gussied up with an air dam, rear aero, funky side mirrors, and crazy-deep 14-inch chrome Formula wire wheels (you'll have to paint the centers gold) and "hippari" (stretched) wide tires. The car body is molded in red, with the chassis and interior molded in black. The decal sheet includes a swatch of red from which you can cut your own stripes.
