Completed: Hilux mini

Here are some outdoor shots of the Hilux. Only minor mods done. The wheels were changed to Aoshima's Koenig IMP's, since I used the Racing harts for my civic. Exhaust tip is from the Aoshima Aristo. I used a left hand dash from my old 4runner kit. The bench seat was tossed, and replaced with some Fujimi stock civic h/b seats. This was a fun build. Keep an eye out for my next Hilux. ;)

Thanks everyone. I also forgot to add, the tires on the wheels are the Revell civic/integra ones, and I shaved the backs of the wheels to the width of the tires. :)

Thanks again everyone. I am pleased with how the paint came out since it was my first time painting graphics. Too bad you can't see the chameleon on the graphics and the frame. :(

The removable tonneau is a nice touch.

It actually comes with the kit. It is hinged near the cab, all I do is flex the sides to put on/off the cover. :)

Stay tuned for my next hilux. It won't have any fancy paint graphics, but it will have a themed paint with decals.

Thanks. The green is House of Kolor limetime green pearl. It has to be applied through an airbrush. I am honored Pman, it was because of you and this forum that I strive to be a better modeler. :) There is alot of knowledge here, I have learned alot from it. Now I just have to refine my putty skills like some here, then I'll be good. ;)
