Jordan White Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Fujimi kit of the Suzuki Jimny. It was painted in a light metallic blue Duplicolor Perfect Match paint, wheels are from the AMT F150, tires from the AMT Ranger. I used a parts box spare tire, as well as spare decals on the sides.The only modification was removing the side windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I like it. It is a neat little kit and goes together very well.Back when those were new I went to Aruba and rented a blue one just like yours. It was a lot of fun tooling around the island, on beaches and across the rough coral surface of the windy side of the island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLOODBANE Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I love it. Of course I have 2, 1:1 scale Samurais (Jimnys). I have a 87 TinTop and a 86 Convertible (like the one you have here). The 86 is in the middle of becoming a rock buggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 thanks for sharing! the first one i see built. some paint in the Interieur would be a good choice Then here's another one! I built this with my daughter back when she was 10. Out of the box. A friend of mine was doing metal plates and did one for her with her name on it.

Jordan White Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 For those who mention paint on the interior, perhaps I could have done more. This was a quick, simple build though, so I figured a gray vinyl interior would work fine for the Jimny's simplistic nature. Of course, I did skip painting some of the interior body color where the exposed metal would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Neat little bugger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOODBANE Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) My 87 has a gray interior (1:1) and my 86 had gray (its puled apart). Best pic I have of the interior of my 87....The steering wheel is not stock (Grant). Edited November 5, 2015 by BLOODBANE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
