Diecast Japanese vans!

I have always liked vans. Currently own a 95 Toyota Previa LE SC and 14 Toyota Sienna SE

So naturally, I would want to get diecast vans. Unfortunately, Matchbox and Hot Wheels haven't really made many vans.

Hot Wheels did release a Honda Odyssey and the RR Honda Odyssey based of the Bisimoto 1000hp van.

It wasn't until 2016, when I was in Japan, I picked up a few vans.

...in 1999.... my start

The first time I got a model was in 1999. At the time, I owned a 1995 Honda civic hatchback DX. When I started to talk to Mege-san about the car scene, I saw that Tamiya had an red civic hatchback! He got me that model and sent it to me.  This was my first attempt with a model and I tried to replicate it to me like my actual car (sans the intercooler). My EG at the time: After that I dabbed in scale modeling bit by bit. I would go through waves of interests, then back off throughout the years.  The height of my interests and getting models completed was in 2004. I had visited Japan 4 times and each time, I would bring back a few models. When I was in Japan, scale models could be found in many places and of course, it was Tamiya, Fujimi and Aoshima that was my aim. The price was usually $15 to $20. Additionally, I was also in Gundam scale models at 1/144 When I stopped visiting Japan, I bought some models online, but I decided to ...

Machine RS 2 and 3

In this Skyline bundle, I didn't expect to have extra chassis. But there were a couple boxes with 2 chassis. Most of the parts were in the sandwich bags. But the RS 2 was missing a set of wheels. I went through the bags to make sure that the everything is there and it seems like it. I've started on the RS-3, but the detail is pretty intense. The body is red and I need to paint the lower half black. I was hoping to get these done first, but I need to get a some different colors. The RS 2 is already painted, but gotta paint the bottom also. I have some extra wheels from the Grand Champion model, so I could use it but it is without tires.
