Build your own take on the AE86
Choose how your Toyota Trueno AE86 building set takes shape. Keep the white bonnet for a clean, understated appearance or fit the dark alternative for a more modified look. The familiar black-and-white bodywork, angular cabin and sloping rear hatch capture the character of this classic Japanese car, with an included display container ready for whichever version you prefer.
One AE86, two distinct looks
The bonnet options give this build an extra personal touch, while the recognisable Trueno shape remains at its heart.
Choose your bonnet
The white bonnet blends into the body for a simple street-car finish. The dark bonnet creates a stronger contrast, giving the same model a noticeably different character without starting a separate collection.
Classic Trueno proportions
Straight body lines, black side trim and a sloping hatchback profile recreate the AE86’s distinctive shape. Dark wheels and compact front-light details complete a model that looks at home among other Japanese classics.
A display for your chosen version
The white AE86 Trueno container frames the finished car behind a clear front. Matching illustrated packaging makes this a thoughtful gift for an AE86 fan who would enjoy choosing the final look themselves.
