Aoshima 1/24 Toyota RN30 Hilux Lift UP Custom 1978: Scale replica for collectors

This 1/24 Aoshima kit recreates the lifted 1978 Toyota RN30 Hilux with careful attention to the custom styling cues of the era. It is intended for builders who value a faithful static model that displays the vehicle's rugged character.

Background and collector appeal

The RN30 Hilux gained a following for its straightforward layout and adaptability. This miniature captures the truck's core characteristics, offering a compact representation that appeals to both automotive modellers and historical collectors.

Presentation and finishing notes

Achieving a convincing final model benefits from accurate paint matching, fine masking and patient decal work. The lift-up stance and trim details are modelled to present well on a shelf or in a themed display diorama.

Yes, the design is for a static display model rather than a functional RC conversion. It is optimised for detail and accuracy at scale.

Reference images from classic truck archives and period magazine scans help match factory and custom finishes. Online hobby forums and photo databases are useful sources.
