cobraman Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 This is the first Aoshima kit I have ever built. Curbside but a pretty nice kit. Clean parts and no real fit issues. I striped the chrome from the wheels and painted them black. Paint is Testors Flamming Orange with 3 coats of clear.
rctruk Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Definitely a nosebleed in the making. Good looking highrider pick-up
slusher Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 A very sharp truck Ray, love the color and nice touch on the black wheels...
Randy D Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Hi Ray, Sweet looking job on this one !!! Those kits do look nice. randy
crazyjim Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I'm not a fan of painted wheels, but your build sure looks good and is so SHINY :) . I started the Hilux kit yesterday.
cobraman Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 Thanks guys. I'm kind of wishing I left the wheels chrome myself.
bogger44 Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Nice build Ray. The black wheels really go well with that orange.
cobraman Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 Thanks Tony. Still thinking I should have left them chrome.
crazyjim Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Yo Ray - I have the Toyota Hi Lux pickup that I'm building. The kit has a set of chrome wheels but no tires and I can't find tires to fit the wheels so I'm going with Ma's Resin Desert Dogs and bead lock wheels. If you'd like the chrome wheels, maybe we can work a trade?
cobraman Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 Gave the truck away to my BIL. He liked the black wheels. Thank you for the offer however.
crazyjim Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Nuts! I still have the wheels and no tires to go with them.
