1978 Toyota Hilux RN30 Old School

[SkylineGTR34]

Good morning everyone 👋😉

In addition to the '88 Hilux, the next model building project is on the theme of mini trucks from the '80s and '90s: a 1978 Toyota Hilux RN30 Old School from Aoshima, which I'm also currently building. My second Toyota Hilux pickup. However, it will be a little different than what appears on the box. The fenders have been made narrower, and different wheels are being used.

Here is the Toyota Hilux kit:

Oh, before I forget, this kit originally belonged to my friend, and he started building it. However, it was more or less awful, and then he stored it in the box for a long time. Afterward, he gave it to me because he couldn't continue it himself and simply didn't have the time.

Here you can see the process of shortening the fenders

The process took hours. After the revisions, it looked like this. It's not quite finished yet, to be continued.

These will be the newer wheels in the Hilux. The Low Rider wheels will be used for another mini truck project.

Best regards 👋😉

Interesting how different it looks with the shortened fenders.

Looking forward to seeing the progress.

That looks great!  I would clear it!  Love the contrast with the blue.
