Aoshima 1982 Century- from Toyota

[shoopdog]

This is the third of five obscure Aoshima kits my son gave me.

The Toyota Century debuted in 1967 and reigned as one of the finest cars for the domestic Japanese market. This is the G40 version that appeared in 1982.

Painted with Testors Inca Gold and lowered. Not a fan of the kits adjustable suspension with screws and springs. Unfortunately I was unable to get the ride height level. Thanks for looking and comments welcome.

Nice ride, not familiar with this particular  Toyota model but it looks like a Mercedes from that era. Cool color and stance.

Excellent, interesting, and obscure!  It makes me wonder how the auto industry in the US would have responded had more JDM cars like this been imported to our market in the 70s and early 80s.  At least we got the Cressida until Lexus emerged on the scene.  Great work on this build!!

Keep coming back to look at this one. Nice build. Great choice of body colour and window tint.
