Nah, Tundra is old hat (eh John?); Tacoma looks more utalitarian. Besides, outside of US they're all just known as "Hilux".

Not to sound to ignorant but is there really a Tamiya Tundra out there? If so, what is the model number?

Hehe, C'mon Fazal, think "too much time on one's hands + Photoshop = Good Gag!"

On second thoughts now... Toyota's US 'Tundra' is actually a LOT BIGGER than a stadard Hilux, right?? Its approaching size of a Chevy Suburban, methinks. So putting it on an unmodified Bruiser chassis would mean taking a few liberties on 'scale'.

[snollan]

Bigger than a hilux about the same size as a K5 blazer.

[Twmaster]

Oh yea lots bigger than the "HiLux" Almost as big as a regular full size pickup.

[snollan]

Come to think of it, it's the hilux that is out of scale.

Absolutely, a bigger body would be coorect 1:10 scale

[SJoerD]

If a Hilux is about as big as a F-150... [?] The the Bruiser is 'somewhat' out of scale compared to the Blackfoot...? [:0] (jeess, I once thought BK and KBF was big... [)] )

BTW, why does that King Mounty have Pajero tires? []

[Twmaster]

A hilux is nowhere near as big as an F-150.

How come a Blackfoot be so darn tiny compared to a Bruiser then??? []

In that case I swear a Bruiser should be 1:8 scale or something... [8)] []

Don't tell me it's that tiny... []

A King Blackfoot is big, or was I just a tiny guy at that time? At least not anymore as I am getting near 2 meters tall these days... [] It seemed bigger when it was on the shelf I guess!!! [8)] [|)]

I don't care though, the KBF is still cooler than any King Mountaineer! []
