Mazda's little K360: Old-skool delivery (OOB)

[Faust]

Given all the weird stuff I build and collect, like 4-door Vettes and early, useless jets, it should come as no surprise that the weirder it is, the more I’m likely to be drawn to it. My reputation precedes me, too, it seems, since my brother and (now late) uncle worked together to give me five of the Arii 1/32 Owners’ Club three-wheeled trucks for Christmas some time ago.


I thought it was high time to dig one of these little weird guys out and give it a go. On a whim, I decided to take a run at the Mazda K360, since it’s not as well-known as the Daihatsu midget, and thus was even a darker shade of weird!


Check out the out of box review for this cute little motorized wheelbarrow-looking hauler at the link below. Who knows, you might decide you want one for yourself!

Looks great Faust, I missed one of those and a tiny box van on our ebay here in the UK just recently. I look forward to your build up.

I love those little trucks (have posted videos of Japan car culture here before, and at least one spotlighting those little trucks), and those "Owner's Club Series" 1/32 kits are too kool. I have a number of them although I have rarely actually built one. I faintly recall building one for a 1/32 slot car, I forget what it was, wasn't one of the mini trucks though.

I have not yet checked out Mr Faust's review yet but look forward to his witty observations as always. One of the best and consistently best kit reviewers out there. I am in general awe when in your presence.
