My Hilux showed up today. I had some plans for it starting with making it an extra cab but I think I am going to leave it a double cab. I will try in the future. I thought about making a clone of my 1:1 truck but there are a few things on my 1:1 truck that will have to be created for this hilux and I just don't really have the materials and supplies yet for it and I think I just want to create a different theme now anyway. Oh well! I guess it is the joys and hardships of making models lol

All-in-all it looks like a good little kit Nice that there are right and left drive dashes I'm not too fond of the drive train all connected The rag top is all clear The metal rods are the axles I am thinking of using the Toyota drive train and axles and leaf springs. I will have to wait and see what the next model provides. I am using the 37" tires on the Toyota for the Samurai.

Wow, the left-hand drive dash surprised me! Looks like I'll need to get one of these!

LOL I figured it was going to take forever for the blue high lift Toyota to get here so I started building a log truck. The blue Toyota showed up today.
