Flamed 80 Hilux High Rider

[scalepeter]

This is the Aoshima  80 hilux high rider kit.    This has been built out of the box but using some of  the custom options included.   I enjoyed this build and was really happy with the end result. Color is  enamel,  in the order of gold base,  Turn Signal Amber Metallic (Model Master),   Clear coat mixed with pearl powder Solar Gold,  Metallic red Flames and lastly Clear.  Flames are a mask i bought and adapted to use on this.   I also like how the steering wheel is on the right side,  not too many kits i build have a right hand drive build option.    Thanks for looking.

I like the build but can't figure out the hood flames are backwards.

Yes crazyjim you could say the hood flames are backwards. Does that help make up your mind if you like it or not?  I don't mind if you don't?  It was my intention to have them that way.    I like the look of it.     Glad you like the build though.    Have some of the flame mask left over which  I'm shortly going to use on a 60 chevy impala.

Doesn't matter to me.  I like the build.

Great looking truck Peter. Beautiful paint. I will admit the hood flames took me back as well however it doesn't take away from a great looking model.

Good looking truck. I just picked up one of those kits at a show and was wondering how well they went together. The flames look like the old Parma paint masks. I've used a bunch of them painting slotcar bodies when I used to race. They work very nice and if you're careful peeling them off, some of them are reusable.  Cool 4x4.
