1987 Suzuki Samurai


Jeepster25

Recommended Posts

This is my first post and my first build in a long time. I decided to do a model of my first car. This kit was from fujimi, I switched the wheels with Jeep CJ wheels that more closely match the Samurai I had. The paint is automotive paint that is covered with a few layers of clear. I scratch built the brush guard, mud flaps and spare tire cover. Also I recreated the stripes from a scanned picture of the original Samurai.

Have you thought about displaying the model on its top so it looks more natural? :o:D

LOL. Reminds me of the old song: "my Suzuki is really sturdy, as long as I don't go over 30." :D

Seriously, Jeepster25 - Great job on that Zuki, and the personalized touches/scratchbuilt bits make it very special indeed.

Thanks everyone! khart here is a picture of her on the side like many real Samurai's in the 80's! Also another picture of her topless. I don't like how the tires came out but I couldn't figure out how to do white letter tires that matched the ones I had, any suggestions?

Nice work. I really like the color, what is it?

It's 1987 Suzuki Iceland Blue Metalic code 09R, I was able to get it in a 12 oz. spray can from Automotivetouchup. It's just a base coat paint so I used 3 coats of gloss clear over it. It did melt the plastic cup I sprayed it into first but the model didn't melt.
