Default Gachan "Madness" AE86 Sprinter Trueno


Katsuhiko Yukawa or ‘Gachan’ as he’s known amongst friends isn’t a typical model maker by any stretch of the imagination. He doesn’t just buy model car kits and painstakingly build them with the utmost care and attention to detail… far from it. He painstakingly builds them with the utmost care and attention to detail and modifies them. We’re not talking about cutting the suspension and reattaching it so that the car looks like it’s been lowered and maybe a respray in candy apple red with silver flake, we’re talking complete, lifelike body shop style modifications and custom made… everything!




Not only does he build ‘down to the finest detail’ realistic models, he has also built scale body shop and hairpin turn dioramas to show his cars off with. You will be amazed at the skill involved in building a model car Gachan style.


Yukawa-san is 39, self employed and spends around one month on each of his cars, doing everything in his spare time. He’s not paid to do any of this work, nor are his models for sale. In fact he’s never thought about selling them because he thinks no one would be interested! That might be hard to believe, but it gives a good idea as to how modest Yukawa-san is about his work.
