Italeri Land Cruiser. The military one with the gun. I'm not going to build full engine. Instead I will make huge turbo to stick trough the bonnet. Parts Box resin turbo added to scratchbuild manifold. Exhaust pipes made from styrene. Tyres are from Tamiya Mitsubishi Pajero and rims are either Fujimi on Aoshima ones. Color will be Zero paints Subaru blue. Scratchbuild intercooler. I'll build also a some sort of box for dry ice, for drag race use. Scratchbuild Optima battery and fuel tank.
hjracing Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Awesome project, nice detailed build! I'll keep an eye on this one!
Alyn Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 This ones getting off to an interesting start. Nice details!
hjracing Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Any updates Jurva? I like so much your take on the FJ-40.
High octane Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Awesome job on the Land Cruiser as I was in one a couple of years ago. It had a long wheelbase and couold go "anywhere."
Jurva Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 Here's couple of photos of test assembly and weathering. I'm going to make this car like it's been driven. What do you think about weathering so far. I'm using MIG Beach sand. Also added seats and belts.
