Aoshima’s Tokyo Fire Department Toyota HIACE

[shoopdog]

Just finished my second Aoshima kit my youngest son gifted me for Xmas. This kit was another enjoyable build from Aoshima, my main problem was the very little contact area for the side and back glass to attach. Also I screwed up trying to smoke the glass with Tamiya Smoke, went too heavy on first coat and ran. Removed what I could with alcohol and then had to sand off the rest and polish away. Didn’t have any more spray smoke after that. Paint is Tamiya TS-85 Bright Mica Red.

Thanks for checking it out.

Very nice.

Those are pretty nice.  Well done.  I've never heard of this vehicle.  Toyota I've heard of, but not the HiAce.

Looks great!

Those look amazing! I just bought my 1st Aoshima kit (a 79 MGB).

Nicely done.  Very clean and crisp!

Wow, a rare beauty! So neatly done, congrats on a fine build!

I'm gonna have to take a look at the HiAce interior and chassis to see how they power these things. I've seen photos of one seen locally here in Canada
