1:24 Toyota SXA10 RAV4L/J For A

A supplementary set for the Toyota RAV4 in 1:24 scale

A set of supplementary parts in 1:24 scale tied to the first generation of the Toyota RAV4 car, which the name designates by the chassis code SXA10. Both letters are given, L as well as J, by which the body versions of the car were distinguished. A supplementary set replaces simplified elements with a finer execution and adds details that will not fit into a kit.

The real subject

The first RAV4 appeared in the mid-1990s and tends to be described as the car that opened the way to today's urban off-road vehicles. Against the heavy off-road machines of that time it was small, light and built on a unitary body, so it behaved rather like a passenger car. From the outside you will recognize it by its short overhangs, the plastic fender flares and the spare wheel hung on the rear. It is precisely these elements that tend to be most visible on a model, which is why it pays to tune the detail on them.

Building tips

• Supplementary sets are made for a particular kit, so first compare the parts with your model and try to seat them dry.
• Remove the original simplified element carefully and bit by bit, so that you do not damage the surroundings.
• Tip the small parts out onto a light mat with an edge and work with tweezers.
• Choose the glue according to the material of the part; with parts that are not of polystyrene, super glue in a small amount proves itself.
• Wash and degrease the parts before painting.
• The exact procedure and the list of parts are stated by the manufacturer in the instructions.
