    On those rear hubs (I mastered them) they are designed for American trucks. You’re using European wheels with a much larger center hole. Jamie has much, much better wheels and tires that would be much more accurate for your build.

    It’s been a few years. I bought a few packages that have a few different sizes in each pack. Then I used the closest to the existing cab rivets.

    Beautiful job!! For future reference, Joseph at Fireball Modelworks has very accurate Mopar police car wheels with hubcaps!

    So, on the parts that are wrong, part 20 goes where part 21 is located and then part 21 goes where part 20 was? And part 20 is reinstalled at a 60 degree angle? Is that transfer case unique to the M1070 or does the M911 use it as well?

    Joseph is awesome! The best parts I’ve dealt with!

    I’m wanting a real one myself! I’m in a Facebook group called First Gen Toyota Pickups. They have complete trucks and parts for sale on there all the time. And yes, rust is their worst enemy. Cab, bed and frame are the worst areas.

    I bought two of these 1/35 Real Model Detroit Diesel kits a few years ago. (They come with a new floor and firewall for the M1070 cab for clearance). One for my M1070/M1000 kit and one for my Hobbyboss M911 kit when I get it. You think that Meng Detroit is detailed, look at this! It comes detailed with the hoses and everything molded in! Makes me wonder how they even molded it!?

    Very nice!! You should also put in the “under glass” section.

    What was the very last Jo Han kit manufactured?
  11. Ben
    Ahhhh, I see it now. I have four but I’ll be getting at least two more! Love those kits!

    Should look like this....

    That blue Land Cruiser and that green rock crawler after it were just normal RC trucks with the sound dubbed in.

    I’m not sure what you mean? I don’t see a kit number anywhere in your picture?
  15. Ben
    Are they reissuing this kit? If so, any time frame?
  16. Ben
    Hard vinyl tires.

    How about this photo etch set at Model Roundup?

    I pulled one of my original, factory sealed ones out and started building my “dream truck” from high school! It will be painted exactly like the one in my pics. Lots of work already in it. Opened the hood, grafted the engine/engine bay from a MPC Toyota long bed pickup, completely redid the interior. Made the steering work. Lots of body work correcting flaws, sanded off the side marker lights so I can replace them with photo etch/ red- amber resin lights. The six hole factory wheels and tires are being 3D printed. The paint codes were sent to Jameston and Scale Finishes to produce the exact colors. Etc. etc. http://public.fotki.com/lotso/81-toyota-4wd-picku/

    Are they rereleasing it!?!?
  20. Ben
    The one on the model starts further forward on the body and the bottom of it is more curved.
  21. Ben
    Thanks! I’m kind of a OCD when it comes to the wheels.
  22. Ben
    He doesn’t want too because there just like the kit wheels. I only changed a few minor things.
  23. Ben
    Great job on that!!
  24. Ben
    What are the differences between this Meng M911 kit and the Hobby Boss M911 kit?
  25. Ben
    Yeah, the chassis is 1/4 scale too. Been a few years since I looked at it. The HEMI should fit with minor modifications I would think?
