[HELP] Aoshima Hilux SSR-X

Guys,

I bought this kit some time last year (or was it 2 years ago)

Pretty decent kit, for US$ 1.50

But the catch was that, this was all that was included ->

And the body. Clear parts, manual, and several wheels were NOT included. I've emailed Aoshima about this, but they seemed less than helpful in this matter. Any other way I can get some help for this kit?

You can order the body and clear parts through Japanese online shops like HW Japan, HLJ, Hobby Search or Rainbow Ten. Use the part numbers for the Hilux Double Cab Lowrider that is recently re-released:

For instruction manual, Hobby Search might have them in their web site. Find a recent release of the Hilux that is closest to your kit.

Wheels and tires will be tough, the stock ones are long out of production. You might try ordering the ones from the other Hilux kits.

If you order all the missing parts, it could cost you more than buying an entire kit. But it doesn't hurt to give it a try.
