    Here's a few of mine. I built models for years and have a huge stash waiting to be built. Someday I'll get back into building, health problems made me stop for awhile.

    This one's in my stash. Its not marked as a Toyota but sure looks the part. Meng also makes another kit that is, I'm pretty sure, on an older model HiLux. These are supposed to be nice kits. This kit is number VS002

    This is from the instructions for the Meng kit I mentioned above. Clearly looks like a Toyota to my untrained eye

    The drawing on the lower left on the instruction sheet IS this very vehicle. I guess the kit manufacturer couldn't call it "Toyota" without paying royalties or other non sense. That's a nice pic...thanks!

    I got my Proteus, and she's under construction as of right now! Doing the preliminary sub-assemblies (no pun intended), and some painting before I start the major painting and trim work.

    Post pics when you're done with the build. Ive been toying with the idea of getting back into the hobby, it's been awhile so it will be an easy build to start.
