Suzuki Jimny

Recommended Posts

I just finish this one. It is a Suzuki Jimny from Aoshima, snap kit in 1/32. All the pieces fit great, great quality molding and casting, in fact you can build it without painting it. The decals also are very good, not water slide, but paper decal.
I modified it little bit cutting the front bender bottom part and fill the tail light on the rear bumper. Also decided to make new steele wheels instead of the one that came with the kit.

I decided to give it a retro look, so I painted the grille, mirrors and rear bumper the same color of the body, front bumper painted white. Like the old LJ20 from the early 70's. 
Fun and fast kit to build!

Here the work on front and rear bumper. The front one I had to add a piece on the bottom to cover where i cut. the rear I had to add a piece across because it looks better.

That came out great. And it's something different and looks good in the yellow you chose.

The yellow is similar to the one they used on the Suzuki LJ 20 in the 70's. Thank you David!

Looks great! These little Suzukis sell well here in Australia. 

We used to have a LJ 80, great gear ratio for mountains trail. I wish they could import it in the US. Thank you Garry!
