happy grumpy Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 A beautiful curbside kit. As with most of Tamiya kits, the build is straight forward without any issue. I went with a light color to try to match the one on the side of the box. The color appears different because I took pictures inside using incandescent light and outside on a cloudy day . They even include a decently molded driver. Now that's an idea that I wish more manufacturers would follow. I heard that the body style was copied from the Chrysler airflow.

Rbray47 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Looks great, and since you mentioned it, yeah, it does like a Chrysler Airflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Very nicely done, I like it in that colour as well. I have one in the stash, have thought about rodding it somehow..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbowser Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I've debated adding one of these to the pile, you just may have put me over the edge. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy grumpy Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 thank guys for the comments, Nigel, by all means, I would like to see a rodded version of this . You might have to find a younger driver though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglia105E Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 That is a nice build you have there, Mario...... This Tamiya kit is a 1936 Toyoda, as the brand name was changed from TOYODA to TOYOTA in 1937. The Toyoda AA was based very closely on the Chrysler Airflow, and almost copied some would say ! I tried to convert a 1:24 Tamiya Toyoda AA into a London Taxi, the FX3 version, but it didn't quite work sadly. Nice paint job, Mario and a build to be proud of too !

happy grumpy Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 Thanks for the info James, sorry about your conversion not working out, I've had a few glorious failures myself. The most important thing though is to have fun working on those, failure or not. I've been building for a long time and it never gets old. I'm still enjoying this hobby as much as I did when I was young albeit with some reduced capacity. Be safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doorsovdoon Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 That's a super cool looking kit, I haven't seen one before. Nice work. I too would like to see more kits with an moulded driver option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
