Jordan White Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Fujimi kit of the Suzuki Jimny. It was painted in a light metallic blue Duplicolor Perfect Match paint, wheels are from the AMT F150, tires from the AMT Ranger. I used a parts box spare tire, as well as spare decals on the sides.The only modification was removing the side windows.
MyBradKeselowski Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Looks fantastic ! ! I like the color and the wheels make it look better. Glad to see one built stock for a change.
Tom Geiger Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I like it. It is a neat little kit and goes together very well.Back when those were new I went to Aruba and rented a blue one just like yours. It was a lot of fun tooling around the island, on beaches and across the rough coral surface of the windy side of the island.
Belugawrx Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Nice, Jordan !That interior is screaming for some paint,...black steering wheel maybe, with brushed alum spokes ?I too drove that same go-cart in Dominion Republic,...some 25 years ago...(OMG 25 yrs??)Cheers
BLOODBANE Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I love it. Of course I have 2, 1:1 scale Samurais (Jimnys). I have a 87 TinTop and a 86 Convertible (like the one you have here). The 86 is in the middle of becoming a rock buggy.
Dominik Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Looks fantastic ! ! I like the color and the wheels make it look better. Glad to see one built stock for a change. thanks for sharing! the first one i see built. some paint in the Interieur would be a good choice
Tom Geiger Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 thanks for sharing! the first one i see built. some paint in the Interieur would be a good choice Then here's another one! I built this with my daughter back when she was 10. Out of the box. A friend of mine was doing metal plates and did one for her with her name on it.
gatorincebu Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Cool little model ! Clean build. Some paint on the interior would really improve the look . Be Well Gator
Dominik Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 realy cool Tom. a pair of them...with personal plates. nice!
Jordan White Posted November 5, 2015 Author Posted November 5, 2015 For those who mention paint on the interior, perhaps I could have done more. This was a quick, simple build though, so I figured a gray vinyl interior would work fine for the Jimny's simplistic nature. Of course, I did skip painting some of the interior body color where the exposed metal would be.
BLOODBANE Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) My 87 has a gray interior (1:1) and my 86 had gray (its puled apart). Best pic I have of the interior of my 87....The steering wheel is not stock (Grant). Edited November 5, 2015 by BLOODBANE
