Something Different - Japanese Three-Wheeled Trucks!

[Faust]

When most people think of a collection of vehicles from the mid 1950’s, they think of T-Birds, or Tri-Chevies or at least something with fins. Barring that, at least most people think of something with four wheels! However, I am not most people. For me, while they’re visually interesting and neat in real life, cars of the Fifties have never really “done it” for me as modelling subjects.



No, I like the weirder stuff, so when I got a collection of vehicles from the mid-‘50s, it was a bunch of Japanese three-wheeled commercial vehicles! Thanks to LS (and Arii thereafter), my lust for oddball automotive subjects can be at least somewhat appeased! Check out my collection of 5 three-wheelers from the fun and simple 1/32 “Owner’s Club” model series. You’ll never see a Big Wheel the same way again!

yeah those are totally kool, and that whole series has all kinds of unusual cars in really pretty remarkable detail. The 1/32 kills it for some people, but I build/built vintage realistic looking slot cars in 1/32 so I have an interest in it anyway. I have built an Isuzu Bellett in 1/32 from the series, and also a Nissan Skyline. I have the Daihatsu Midget kit but have not actually worked on it.

I have not done so yet but will check out your link, your builds are always revealing and entertaining, plus we have very similar tastes.
