PhilX Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Here is my built of Tamiya 1/24 1936 Toyoda AA. First of all, no error in the name : Toyoda became Toyota only in 1937. The frame : I add some Evergreen behind the radiator to clip the frame to the body : The front frame Under the Evergreen : Click : Good. Perfectly clipsed. No glue. Can be separate to modify or repair the interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PARTSMARTY Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 This will be awesome-I want one of these kits !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilX Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Now the paint job. 3 colors were available in 1936 for this car : Haizakura (pink beige), Nazukon (dark blue) and Kuro (black). I choose Haizakura color because of its exotic touch. Mixed 3 Humbrol colors and obtained this : I tried the one shot paint but I think it was an error, as the paint is far too thick ... Perhaps I will remove the paint an do it again ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilX Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 The paint is far too thick. The one shot paint is not a good idea. So, I unpaint the model (a bath in Glanzer) The result : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Good looking kit and I like where you are going with it. Of course my mind's eye is seeing it with an injected small-block Ford and some 10.5 slicks out back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilX Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 Thank you Rick. Sory, all my models are stock. But if you like transformations, many topics on this forum will turn you crazy ...

Duntov Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Philippe:Thanks for sharing this build....very interesting. I have been wondering about this kit and thought I might like to try it. Your work looks really good.RegardsBill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyfink Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Wow, this is a super nice kit and you are doing a super nice job! A fellow model club member just built one and said it was an absolute jewel of a kit. Now the challenge is on to make a Hot Rod out of one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilX Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Thank you all. Sorry, no Hot Rods for me. Only stock But you have many Hot Rods on this Forum As the radiator grille is transparent, its necessary to paint the plastic behind with flat black : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelbuilder Mark Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Looking really good! As an employee of Toyota, I really should pick up one of these kits to build for me desk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maindrian Pace Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Beautiful job, I especially like your brush painted burled walnut dash. My only criticism of the kit is that it is a curbside with no engine, which would have been nice to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
