About product

Toyota JPN Taxi NTP10 (2017) Checker Cab in 1:24 scale (Aoshima)

A kit of injection-molded plastic in 1:24 scale from the Japanese maker Aoshima. The subject is the Toyota JPN Taxi of the NTP10 type, that is a vehicle developed directly for the Japanese taxi service, in the standard of the Checker Cab operator. Aoshima is among the brands that have long devoted themselves to Japanese production automobiles, and models of utility and service versions form a group of their own in its range. The particular number of parts, the extent of the decals and the way the interior is treated are described in the instructions enclosed in the box.

The real subject

The Toyota JPN Taxi is a single-volume vehicle presented in 2017 and designed from the start as a taxi for the Japanese market. It has a tall body with sliding rear doors, a low entry sill and a roomy rear compartment, which is meant to make getting in easier for older and less mobile passengers. The drive is provided by a hybrid system burning liquefied gas. The characteristic dark blue color of the body has become the new visual mark of the taxi service in Japan, and the individual operators then complete the vehicle with their own markings and beacons on the roof.

Building and painting tips

First rid the body of mold parting lines and flash; on a tall smooth surface every unevenness shows under the paint. Apply a primer, then the paint in thin coats and let it cure properly. A gloss clear coat before the decals will make seating them easier and prevent silvering under the film. Glue the glazing with glue for clear parts, which does not fog the surface. With the interior of a taxi it pays to tell the shades of the upholstery apart and to suggest wear, because with a tall body there is a good view through the windows. Bring the chrome elements and trim strips out with a metallic paint or with a foil at the end of the build.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of Japanese production vehicles in 1:24 scale.
  • For anyone interested in service and utility transport equipment.
  • For modelers who want to build urban diorama scenes.
  • For builders with experience of painting large smooth surfaces.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is a classic plastic kit that has to be assembled and painted. Paints and glue are not included in the package.

It is the designation of the standard, that is the markings of a particular operator, in which the vehicle is treated in this box.

The number of parts is given in the instructions enclosed in the box.

The basic build is straightforward; what is more demanding is painting the large smooth body. With patience even a less experienced modeler can manage it.
