Hilux #2
This Hilux has been a work in progress for about a year now. It was an ebay score that came with the chassis, radio and cab part of the body. Overall it was in fairly decent shape, but needed some TLC and quite a bit of other parts to make it complete. I scored all other parts over the course of the year and finally got to paint it last month. I decided to go with the white, because I wanted something different than the standard box art on this model. Also - looking back at the old Tamiya commercial for the Hilux, I remember the white truck had looked pretty cool. The only thing reproduction on this truck are the decals. I picked these up from our very own TC repro decal shop (Thanks Lee!) The decals are top notch and added the finishing touch to the 'Lux. Thanks for looking! :) -Brian

Hey Brian - Nice 3-speed! I really like the white choice, makes the other colors snap.
Kudos for your patience with getting the pieces together - a labor of love for sure.

Thank you all for the nice comments! I felt white would allow the decals to 'pop' a little better and the black bedrails would add a little more depth the details of the body.

You have done an outstanding job on this truck. You should be very proud. I have so many projects in the works that mine is a way's off. I will have it finished within a year. Meantime, I will have many other amazing showrooms to share.
