BIGTRUCK Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 This is kind of an odd kit I bought awhile back and figured now is a good time to start this one. Its an Aoshima 1/24 th kit# 008300. Cooking area is pretty detailed, actually the entire kit is really detailed. The 2 tires are a comparison to show how small the truck is. The 1/24 tire on the left is a kit tire and a 1/25 car tire on the right. Part count is pretty good, decals good and a really big clear tree of parts and a driver .Aoshima also offers this kit as a mobile video game truck. This is a flash free crisp kit.

Tom Geiger Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 It’s a cool little truck! There are two different series of this kit. I have several from the earlier series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGTRUCK Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 Getting some of the signs and decals mounted. With the use of Micro sol and Micro set decal solution, the curved edges and grooved surface areas came out great. Color choice , Tamiya Aqua. Most of the detail work will be in the back cooking area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelson Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Very cool!, i think the back cab would look good on any of the Moebuis trucks that have come out the last couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s extremely small, way too little for a Ford truck. It may make for an interesting trailer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hct728(Bob) Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Very neatly done so far! I like the choice of colour, sets off the decals nicely! I have two similar kits, as I buy them whenever I see them, but really want the one with the fish on top(picture courtesy of Scalemates)! Keep up the good work!

peteski Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Are those waterslide decals or peel-n-stick stickers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
