traditional Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 These two micro-trucks were built 'box-stock' from two different 1/24 Fujimi kits......same vehicle but different box-art and with a couple of different bed and spare tire options. The 1/1 Daihatsu MidgetII vehicles were manufactured between 1996 and 2001 but evidently still have a cult following in Japan and since my brother and I have a passion for 1/1 microcars, building these kits was a 'Must Do'. Paint is custom mixed automotive basecoat/clearcoat to match a photo that I have of a 1/1. Although the pics show a bluish color, the models are actually sort of a turquoise but, for some reason, my camera doesn't pick up the added green.

peekay Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Different alright and wonderful. I'm assuming you did one and your brother the other, so the talent runs in the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few places that import them- there are a couple of these (and other microtrucks similar to these) in my area used on farms. Great job on these, Cliff!
