Time to assemble all the remaining pieces and call the Liberty Walk Toyota 86 done! First picture shows all the remaining body pieces, including the wide-body arches which were installed in the last update #19.

The headlamps lenses were slightly foggy out of the box, so these were clear coated for a full transparent finish. The headlamp pieces were detailed according to the real pieces, using Kaleido gloss black, metal silver and finished with chrome detailing.

The taillamps lenses were tinted with Kaleido translucent black while the inner clear lights were airbrushed with translucent red. The main pieces were airbrushed with metal silver with chrome details added too.

The interior door cards, dashboard, rear seat and parcel shelf attach directly to the body, not the interior floor. So these were next to be attached.

Finally, the windows! Since this is an HD (Alpha) kit, the windows are thin plastic pieces and these were carefully attached using RC glue. Finally, the side windows photo etch pieces were attached on top of the clear windows.

That concludes the 86! Next update will be the finished pictures! ☺️
