Default NIB Isuzu MU

Well after nagging a mate of mine for the last 8 years, he eventually sold me his new in the box Tamiya Isuzu MU...

Now before any of you Tamiya Guru's hurt me, I will be building this truck. I will probably never take it offroad, due to the onroad tires, and because I'm building it with unlocked diffs front and back.

So if the thought of me building it offends anybody, I'm sorry, but look away now...

Box:



Open box:



Box contents:







I'm not sold on a specific color yet, I'm thinking a shade of blue, and I'm thinking metallic. But for now, I'm undecided...

More soon...

Nice score. I'd build it too, it'll look better all put together as a unit instead of sitting in a box.

Blue will look good on that, something like this one:




Although, I have always loved this colour on the Rodeo (our 4 door Isuzu model):

Build it!! Tamiya's were not meant to sit in a box. (Though I get keeping them clean and tidy on a shelf)

Keeping them clean and on the shelf is way different to keeping them unbuilt and in the box... I'm with you there.

Metallic red or blue.
But that's just my two cents worth!

I'll take those 2 cents thank you... Metallic red is looking more and more like the choice...
