Aoshima Toyota 4-Runner Model Kit by Alvin L.

 

I wanted to build this kit due to the fact that I actually own a blue 1990 Toyota 4Runner and this kit allowed me to see what my truck would look like with a lift kit and bigger tires.

I started with an Aoshima 1/24 scale kit, the plastic rear springs were thrown away and I made my own out of brass rod, coiling it around a tube, I compressed one spring and expanded the other to give the effect of climbing over rocks.

The shocks were also scratch built with one compressed and one expanded. The lower front control arms were cut out of the molded subframe and repositioned with one up and one down. The body was primed with Duplicolor and the Duplicolor blue paint was used, then the paint was wet sanded to fade the paint.Any dents you can see on this model are actually on the real thing.

The interior was painted with suede paint to add texture. When the model was finished I laid it on its roof and from about 4ft away I sprayed tan suede paint to give the effect of splattering mud from underneath.

The rest of the weathering was done using some dry brushing and Tamiya pastels.
