1967 BRE Hino Samurai

[Scale-Master]

Took a little longer than I thought it would by originally looking at the kit/parts. Mostly resin, somewhat obscure kit (of a relatively obscure car) built out of the box except for the replacement tires since the original ones melted into goop, and I made new rear view mirror faces. Not a big fan of the way the windows were designed to fit either. While it is the same as the real car, mounting vac-formed windows to the outside just makes it tough to look clean. For as simple the interior is molded/engineered, it does a convincing job once buttoned up. Paint is Testors enamel mixed to match the kit provided red-orange color chip. Even though it is an unusual little car, I think it is a cool looking one too. You can certainly see some similarity in it and the Shelby Daytona Coupe.

Excellent build of an unusual car - one that I wasn't familiar with. I just looked it up online and learned some history.
