Hello all,

This is my second entry for the MM campaign: the Japanese Toyota GB starter truck (a starter truck is used to (cold)start planes, like the Mitshubishi Zero).
The model is 1:72 from Science Treasury; a firm that makes authorised copies of Hasegawa models.
The tires are a bit too shiny on the picture, in real it's not that bad...

Critics and comments welcome!

Paul

Interesting truck Paul! Always good to see something non-mainstream such as japanese wwII softskin
Nice build! I have hasegawa's japaneese refueler and as I remember it was pretty fun to assemble

Cheers

Thanks!

Well, I guess it was a pretty build if the instructions didn't suck so much :-) :-) :-)
The model itself is a very good quality Hasegawa copy, but Science Treasury bether could have copied the Hasegawa instructions as well instead of trying to create their own ones :-)
