If you're only looking for a model of the AE86 and not necessarily the one from Initial D, AutoArt makes pretty nice 1:18 models and it should not be difficult at all to find their white/black Trueno. (Quick Example)

If you really want the Takumi details then you might be best off looking for Jada Toys' die cast model. If it has to be Japanese-made, unfortunately I'm not too familiar with the Japanese companies...maybe Tommy?

hmm.. id rather it be jap made, but if it is of high quality taiwan/china is ok too..

also im looking for the initial d decall'd one, as i want to get the markings correct etc.

Oh, while we're on the subject of IDAS v. 4 (sort of), I played the shit out of it in Japan and it was fun but sort of disappointing :(

Penalty Cancel and that strange understreer that always appears in the same spots make it slightly unique (the "drifting" mechanics are still just a gimmick), but other than that it's the same old stuff.

Highstreet, do you mean any old RWD or a Trueno in particular?

ONLINE BATTLES are the shit but they are absent from the US version.

Yeah.....I like the new cards though! They're nice and thick.
