1:64 Chevrolet Silverado KAIDO HKS V1

Chevrolet Silverado Kaido HKS V1 in 1:64 scale

A collector's model of the American pickup Chevrolet Silverado in a conversion from the Kaido House line, which joins classic American pickup engineering with Japanese tuning aesthetics. The HKS version refers to the bold color scheme of the well-known Japanese engine tuner. The model comes from the MINI GT line and is supplied finished and painted.

The real subject

The Chevrolet Silverado follows a long line of American pickups with a square body, an open bed and a robust ladder frame. Vehicles of this kind served for decades as a working tool, but at the same time they became a popular basis for conversions, from lowered suspension to service and support vehicles for racing teams. It is precisely in that role, as a support vehicle in team colors, that the model shows at its best.

The workmanship of the model

The model has an all-metal body, an opening hood with a detailed engine bay, separate wheel rims and rubber tires. The chassis is worked including the view from below. The length comes out at roughly seven and a half centimeters in 1:64 scale, which makes it an above-average sized piece among other die-cast models of the same scale.

Who the model is for

• collectors of American pickups and modified cars
• fans of the Japanese tuning scene and of team colors
• collectors of die-cast models in 1:64 scale
• builders of dioramas with a garage, a service bay or racing facilities

This is a finished, painted collector's model. It is not a kit; nothing is glued or painted. Because of the small parts it is not intended for small children.
