traditional Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 This 1/18 resin model by Cult Scale Models is very well proportioned and finished and although, like most resin models, has no opening appendages, does have some basic chassis detail as well as posable steering. I personally found that the wheels, as manufactured by Cult, looked a little bland in the pale matt blue-grey and had a slightly diminutive bolt pattern. A quick google search showed that many of the stock land cruisers from that era used a glossy darker mid-grey on their split-rim style of wheels, so I immediately repainted the wheels in the darker grey and added short lengths of aluminum tubing to represent the lug nuts. I also drilled out three of the spare wheel's bolt pattern and added the simulated lug-nut fasteners to the remaining three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
