- [Toyota GR86 RZ 2021] made as a 1/43 scale handmade model car of [EIDOLON].
-With the main concept of a FR sports car equipped with a horizontally opposed engine, the interior, exterior, engine, etc. have all been brushed up to reproduce the highest grade [Toyota GR86 RZ] of the second generation 86 that appeared in 2021. increase.
[Vehicle commentary]
- AE86 type produced from 1983 to 1987 as the 4th generation model of the sibling cars Corolla Levin and Sprinter Trueno.
-Since it became a FF (front wheel drive) car from the 5th generation, it is now becoming a treasure as the last FR (rear wheel drive) Levin / Trueno.
- It was in 2012 that the new model Toyota 86 and its sister car Subaru BRZ, named after the model of such a famous car, debuted.
-As a feature, Subaru's horizontally opposed 4-cylinder engine was installed as a result of joint development between Toyota and Subaru, and in pursuit of the pleasure of manipulating, it was adopted the same FR layout as the AE86 type.
- In 2021, the 86 and BRZ will be switched to the new model, but at that time, the 86 will be changed from the conventional Toyota 86 to the GR (GAZOO Racing) brand, which is Toyota's motor sports / high-performance commercial vehicle division. The car name has also been changed to GR86.
-In the model change, in addition to meeting the needs of the times, such as strengthening the body rigidity and improving safety performance, the engine displacement has been reduced to about 100 to improve response and flexibility in order to aim for a more comfortable driving experience. 400cc up, torque is increasing.
[Model commentary]
-In creating the body prototype, based on the 3D data of the actual vehicle provided by Toyota Motor Corporation, we aimed to reproduce the plain proportions without deformation, with the theme of how to scale down the actual vehicle to 1/43. rice field.
- In addition, the details behind the chassis have been thoroughly pursued to the extent possible with integral molding.
- When viewing the model itself from an angle that looks up from below, the unevenness on the back of the chassis that can be seen slightly from the hem of the body has a great effect on the production of reality.
- The GR86 body has black resin parts on the front bumper and fenders.
-In terms of production efficiency, it is better to reproduce such parts by molding them into the body and painting them separately, but in order to achieve a clean finish that is one rank higher, the small parts are separated and painted separately. I adopt the method of assembling after that.
- In addition, the expression of lights is also a point of Make Up's commitment, but the front is sharp by coloring it in black with a plated housing, combining the light lens part with resin, and covering it with a thin transparent cover. Reproduce the glare.
- For the rear, the housing is colored with plating and black paint, and is covered with an outer cover made of a molded product with fine cuts carved and painted in clear red to create a realistic atmosphere.
- The large opening in the front bumper is fitted with a front grille made of photo-etched black baked paint, and the cooling unit and bumper structural materials can be seen behind it, recreating the depth of the actual car. Did.
- The wheel uses white metal casting parts that can reproduce the sharp expression as it is by cutting the original model with brass, which is unique to Make Up.
- High roundness, thin straight spokes, etching brake rotors and white metal calipers that show their presence behind them are also points that you should pay attention to.
- You can choose either black or red interior for the RZ, but we chose red because it is easy to check the interior design and it looks good with the five body colors we have prepared this time.
-Please let the new 86, which is full of highlights everywhere from interior and exterior, to details, join your domestic sports car collection.
