discussion Toyota Hilux Pickup Truck

Aoshima kit in 1/24


went together really quickly at the end, zero fit problems, no drama at all, all in all a lovely kit


my only gripe would be the decals...........why does it carry a Toyota logo on the grille.......small Toyota and Hilux decals on the back.....yet there isnt a big 'TOYOTA' to go on the tail gate?

Nice one Paul.  Good finish on it. Can't answer the decal issue.....

Typically that model would have the word "TOYOTA"  stamped into the sheet metal of the tailgate.....other than that dunno.. :S

exactly.....i would have expected it to be in the moulding and a decal to go on top but theres neither.......cant be cos of copyright since it has the logo on the grille and other toyota and hilux decals.....just Aoshima being weird i think

Nice work on the pickup.  Looks great

It looks really great; ready to assault the North Pole! You know, I just noticed today lots of later Toyota trucks don't have the name stamped in big letters across the tailgate. Also googled it and saw the same thing: blank tailgates. Don't know what year your kit is sposed to be but I bet that's the answer. (I woulda swore it's supposed to be there myself but I think it got dropped a while ago). So cheer up Paul!!

Looks good. Could be a cost cutting excerise by not having to do extra tooling on the injection moulding machine. Flawless finish though.

Awesome result! You're right about the decals, a shame they missed that rather obvious detail from the decal sheet.
