Yeah the American SATCO version is the same as the Aoshima kit, with the addition of the LHD parts. They also did the 4Runner/Hilux Surf. I did get the most recent reissue of the Aoshima Hilux Surf and it does have the LHD parts included, for anyone who's interested.
For me, it seems to be 90s pickup kits. Can't get enough of them since they are all relatively well made kits and there are so many different ways you can build them!
Ooh just thought of another, a 1/16 scale Toyota FJ40! I like the later square grille better, but I’d take any year! I would also accept a super detailed, Tamiya level 1/24 scale!
Who else besides me hopes that Moebius come out with a ‘67-‘72 Blazer as well? That’s another kit that desperately needs to be newly tooled that is offered by AMT!
As I suspected, the CJ7 is just the ex Monogram kit, though that’s not a bad thing! I’m excited for the new Blazer though, I can’t wait to see the actual parts!
