Toyota HiAce Van.

Here's the latest thing I've thrown together, was an Aoshima HiAce kit built basically standard out of box.

Wasn't the nicest thing to put together with several fit issues, I expected more from a Japanese kit having built Tamiya kits before I thought this would fall together too but was mistaken.

Paint looks black but is actually dark purple, black base coats with clear blue and pearl over the top, the windows are tinted REAL DARK with Tamiya smoke. It looks nice but shows up the dust and fingerprints real easily.

Fred made me some cool number plates to stick on it too! Thanks mate.

Sweet ass van mate!

Cool build, nice and clean Does this kit come with the stock body options? Or is it all custom?

..good looking van.

Cool Van

Another van, seriously. No but really, nice job and its good to see some builds getting done

You can leave the side skirts off it Kacey, it doesn't come with standard front and rear bars.

It started as this kit, other version may have stock bodies..........

I see all those van and VIP kits every time I go shopping in Japan, but never knew anybody actually bought and built them.

Great job, but please don't do any more, it might just tempt me to go to the dark side.

Great job

nice work Rob, anything inside?

Nice work
Been meaning to buy one of these and do a Plumbers Van one day

Some speakers and tele's, I got the cranks with the bodgie hinge and glued the door shut.

how cool is that. would be a good kit 4 some airbrushing

Looks great, Always wondered if it had all the audio BS in the back. Aoshima do so many of these wacky vans.

 Yeah I've seen a few other versions, thinking of getting a few of the others eventually when dollars allow......
