Academy (KA) Mazda T600

[niteowl7710]

Just tossing this out there for anyone out there who's interested in the esoteric.  You may recall back in 2019 KA Models did a kit of the little 3 wheeled "truck" trike Mazda K360, for those of us who got one several parts runners were labeled "360/T600" - included several of us who got the entirely wrong rear chassis/suspension parts, and never have been able to get KA to replace them. They're still blaming the pandemic a year later as to why they can't mail out the parts, even though they've reissued the kit in 2021. ?

So now we're getting the T600, which is the long wheel base version of the K360.  Other than the longer frame/suspension components, and the longer bed theyshould be identical in contents, it's just amusing to see it now coming out with an Academy box.  The kit is available now if you want to source it out of South Korea via eBay, and I suspect it'll get a larger release over the summer (as the trend has been with the recent Academy Hyundai kits).

Very cool, thanks for posting. If one of these crossed my path, I would have to lug it home.

As long as you get the correct parts, its a neat kit, I built the 360 version, and other than the super fragile bed hooks, fun kit to build.
