traditional Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 These two 1/24 '92 Toyotas were completed a while ago (long while ago) but I was just having fun retaking pics using my recent photo tent.The HILUX is pretty much box stock Fujimi but the basic version is modified (using brochure reference) by removing the raised rubber side trim, filling in the sun-roof, fabricating a bench seat, and removing all the delux chrome trim and accessories. The stock basic wheels were pirated from a land cruiser kit, and the 'TOYOTA tailgate lettering' was done with Letraset pressure sensitive lettering. Paint on both models is automotive basecoat/clearcoat. While I like both versions, I'm kind of partial to the 'utility version'. I'm also including a couple of pics of the Hilux with a couple of smaller scale models of virtually the same vehicle.....a 1/43 HI-STORY resin model and a 1/87th version that came in a chocolate egg.

Atmobil Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Fantastic!! I really like them both but just like you I'm partial to the utility version. That is the way that I'm used to seeing them here, but these days when I see one it useually has rusty wheelarches, faded paint and lots of dents and scratches everywhere I do have some similar plans myself but with the singelcab version of the kit and with the type of weathering I just mentioned.

Cpt Tuttle Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Yeah, I agree since the red one is quite similar to the one that the son of my neighbour is driving, except that his one is white and is the strange rebadged "Volkswagen Taro" version we got in Europe.

Atmobil Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 The Taro, the best car Volkswagen ever made, because it is a Toyota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helix Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Impressive work Cliff, we call them 'Rollux' Down-under because a lot of them end upside down ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruleworld Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Nice Toyotas. It was worth re-photographing them together. Impressive work Cliff, we call them 'Rollux' Down-under because a lot of them end upside down ! The guys i worked with called them Gutlux, because they lacked power (gutless).
