Snapshot of the Aoshima AE86 Levin build

The Aoshima 05965 - 1/24 Akiyama Wataru AE86 Levin Initial D Model Kit captures the look of the AE86 Levin from Initial D at 1/24 scale. It is aimed at hobby modellers who enjoy screen-accurate cars and like to add personal touches through paint and trims.

Key components and fidelity

This kit features a newly molded front bumper and a period-correct roll bar faithful to the anime design. Interior pieces such as a bucket seat are included, and a window frame masking seal helps achieve neat glass edges. Parts are formed for reliable alignment and a tidy build.

Tips for building and customising

Painting is necessary to recreate the authentic finish from the series. The separated parts are convenient for masking and custom paint work, and the model responds well to light weathering or decal placement for a personalised result.

Aoshima's AE86 Levin kit offers good detail and clean part fit, making it a satisfying build for collectors and modeller projects that want a faithful Initial D subject.
