Hi all,
I would like to show you a new Japanese rally car that I have finished.
It's the Toyota Toyopet Crown that participated in the Mobilgas rally of Australia in 1957. Therefore this car is, according to the chronicles, the first Toyota to compete in a rally.
To make this model I used as a base a 1/32 scale model of ARII brand, with a PCS adjustable chassis.
To make the decoration I used different photographs and videos from Internet sites, and finally I will make these decals.
For the cockpit I have used one from a SEAT 1430 from Altaya, changing the pilot and co-pilot so that the steering wheel is on the right.
Regarding the wheels, I have used the original ones that came in the box, and I have inserted them into plastic rims of the appropriate size, then painting by hand the white band of the tires.
And this is the final result...
I hope you like it.
Thank you very much for your reading and comments.
Best regards,
Guillermo.
