Finally my version of the Ford High-Lift. I’ve gone through a lot of options in my mind and with “trial stickers” for the painting …and found out that I should have houndreds of this model! It’s such a cool kit! Now, I ended with – I think – a more old-fashioned scheme, probably since I’m a vintage collector. And I liked the idea that this Ford ist carrying some vintage NIB’s….! I know, I’m dreaming….but it’s christmas time soon ;-)
Customization to kit:
1. Oil-filled shock absorbers gold (Hop-up #53369)
2. Side mirrors spring mounted (self made, spring from pen)
3. Lights (individual, 15 LED system)
So soon it’s time to go for some serious cruises….:-)

I think you could make a dollar or two if you made the MINI NIB boxes for the latest toys from Japan, the Mini Frog, Avante, Buggy Champ(Rough Rider), Grasshopper. It would be great complement to the folks that bought the little things. I know they come in their own box, but they are disguised by the Hornet on the front and no other photos in that scale. It has been a couple of months since they started to appear on TC and ebay, but still could be of interest. I hope your insurance company can afford damages if your truck gets into an accident with that payload on board.

awesome pictures and special idea with the little kit's
TamOR
Crash Cramer, yep, I know what you're talking about! Guess what... I have this Buggy Collection at home! 15 Boxes (you're right, wth the Hornet boxart) and all these little surprises in it! And hmm... thanks for your idea, running a small business with 'my' Mini-NIB's...well, I hope the description below helps to someone to do them by himself...(I just don't have the time
)

Tamiya should put this on their website!
