Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of a light commercial pickup in 1:24 scale from the Japanese manufacturer Aoshima. The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The number of parts, the extent of the decals and the contents of the package are given on the box and in the instructions. The word Custom in the name refers to the better equipped form of the real subject, and the year to the model period the set relates to.
The Hilux is a range of light pickups Toyota has built since the end of the 1960s and which earned a reputation as an exceptionally tough working vehicle. The form designated RN30 belongs to the generation introduced at the end of the 1970s and is the variant with a shorter wheelbase and a gasoline inline four. The design is classic commercial, that is a ladder frame, a live rear axle with leaf springs and a separate bed. The Custom trim level added better upholstery and external decorative features over the bare working version, so the vehicle could already be used as a passenger car too. It is precisely that combination of simple engineering and decent equipment that makes the pickups of the day a popular subject for modifications.
With a commercial vehicle you do not have to go for a perfect piano gloss. A lower sheen looks more natural on a working pickup and forgives small imperfections in the finish. The chassis and the bed are more interesting instead. Paint and build in the frame and the axles before you close the body up; on a pickup a lot is visible from below. The floor of the bed can be varied with darker patches and fine pigment so that it looks used. Do the chrome bumpers and strips with metal foil; chrome paint on large areas never looks as good. The interior is simple, and all the more reason to spend time on the instrument panel and the steering wheel. Glue the glazing with cement for clear plastic. If you want to build the vehicle as modified, a two-tone finish on the body suggests itself with this subject and is fairly easy to mask thanks to the straight lines.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
