mitchell Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 build this truck to be a shop truck for my future garage diorama . Very old Tamiya kit but a very interesting subject. build it like it is a 25 years old delivery truck. made the rear door functional by drill the hinges.

Zarana-X Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 NIce work! I remember seeing this kit in the old Tamiya catalogs. We don't have the real ones here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Smith Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Way cool. Is it curbside or full detail? Is thi kit even available? Nice work. Great weathering. It is a curbside. It has the bottom half of the engine molded into the separate frame. It actually would not take much to add an engine. Kit hasn't been available for some time but eBay auctions usually go for $40-50.

Rob Hall Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Neat build...those funky little vans are interesting. I remember seeing this kit in a Tamiya catalog from around 1996. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin T Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Very nice job. Wish I had that kit,it's fairly rare stateside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchell Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 yes, a simple curbside kit. This kit is hard to find even in Asia. Got it off the local e-bay and the box has been in a humid environment over say 25 years. it was rough and the decals are all yellow. But I build this kit when i was young and the result was not good. This is a like a revenge build. Also good for a shop truck in a garage diorama.
