Cool Hand Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Another stalled build from the parking lot completed. Here is some of the WIP Where I live its called a Ute so to me that is what it is. Feel free to call it what you like depending on your location. The Kit. The wheels. Usual Tamiya TS-14 Black and TS-49 Bright Red combo. Scratch built wheel tubs and modified raised bed floor. Back half rear frame scratch built. Aoshima spare parts modified driver side view mirror. Scratch built air system. Exhaust chopped and spare parts hot dog. Edited January 21, 2022 by Cool Hand 4
Sandboarder Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Damm that’s is so tidy!! Another flawless black paint job with wheels that resemble the centrelines that are so popular with drag racers. Great concept of air bagging it and actually plumbing and installing a full compressor setup. 1
Koellefornia Kid Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Very nice and clean build! Awesome paint and a great stance! 1
Plowboy Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 That is a kickbutt little truck Luke! Yeah, I just call 'em trucks. I really like those wheels! Are they like that out of the box or did you modify them? 1
Spottedlaurel Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 That looks fantastic Luke! A lot of work done to it, yet it looks like it came that way out of the box. 1

Thanks mate, got a bit slack with other detail work on the under carriage. Figured doing the air set up shows how it could stance that low and maybe inspire other's to add same detail to there low stance builds. 8 hours ago, Plowboy said: I really like those wheels! Are they like that out of the box or did you modify them? Yeah they are very cool wheels I like them a lot too. Two version's available 5 lug and 4 lug, or as they are called 4 hole and 5 hole. I did mod them, the inner lip was cut off, which I do most time's when using the Aoshima 14's. 3 hours ago, Spottedlaurel said: A lot of work done to it, yet it looks like it came that way out of the box. Would have been nice to be oob the way I built it, would have saved me doing all the mods and work LOL! Nah, can be fun and rewarding to succeed in making an idea a reality sometimes.
Steve H Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Another great build Luke. Your paint jobs are just fantastic mate, the red interior really pops against the black. Lots to like with this one for me, stance, wheel tire combo, I really like your air bag set up with compressor and lines. Another perfect ratio of black and chrome. Cheers, Steve 1
Chuck Most Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Love it! I slept on this kit when it first came out but your build has me checking the online vendors for one. 1

carrucha Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 Nice build. I really dig the stance and slick black paint.
