I remember building this kit when it was offered by Lindberg. I still have the blazer. The chassis already painted and the body still in primer sitting in the box for over 16 years. Watching your videos makes me want to finish some of the kits I started.
Awesome tips again Chris. The black sharpie trick? Awesome. I’ve used the silver sharpie on my ‘16 Stingray’s grille piece and mirrors, terrific! I’ll be using it for the coil over shocks on the Shelby as well. Thanks! Correction, I found a metallic silver sharpie, not the regular silver.
You were probably having difficulty finding pictures of a 3.5L v6 engine for a 1992 Toyota pickup because the v6's equipped in them were 3.0L's, known as the 3VZE. Awesome build and detail. I drive a '94 XtraCab 4x4 with the 22RE 4 cylinder and 5 speed manual, and I'd like to build a model of it for my work desk.
@@hpiguy Excellent trucks man! The 3.5 and a lesser version of that 4.0 were built here in Huntsville, AL. No doubt they are better on fuel and power than my old 2.4 22RE, and being Toyota, I wouldn't expect any reliability issues from either rig. Maybe a 1/24 current gen Tacoma model will drop some day.
The 3.4 is what youre thinking of. I have the 2001 toyota tacoma 2.7l 3RZ-FE pre-runner that i supercharged with forged internals just to be able to get on the freeway without dying. Has 400,000 miles on it now.
I recently bought this model truck about a couple weeks ago and when I opened the box I had a nasty surprise. The cab of the truck was completely broken. I managed to fix it with putty and super glue. It doesnt even look like it was smashed to hell. I live in the next state over from you and would like to meet up with you and build some models.
I has assumed it was the same kit but wasn't positive until I opened it up. Too bad no one makes replica decals, I'd build it as the beach truck for sure!
that emerald green metallic is literally the only green guaranteed to look fantastic on a vehicle....it ALWAYS looks good be it Ferrari or Harley it never fails....
That looks so good Chris!! My family is a Toyota fan all of our cars are Toyota's we have five of them!!! I definitely have to get that kit!!!! Thanks!!! :)
Should have painted the frame brown and removed a few chunks to make it realistic. 😉 The V6 engines in these trucks were 3.0 liters. Looks great! I need to pick one up.
I knew a dude had one of these trucks, and he had that frame problem. He ended up putting two by fours in it to strengthen it back out. Needless to say it didn't last very long.
Wow Chirs u must have been building for somtime now. This is a cool pick up buddy... no wonder yur so good at building. U don't mind me asking how many models have u build in yur time? I've been building for 3 yurs now and done 54... Thanks again as always....😉
I usually bury my decals in the clear coat. Is that something that you should do, or is it just a matter of taste not the clear coat the decals but put them on afterwards?
Lots of ways to skin the cat. You can do it your way and it covers them nicely, or my way, usually both methods have good results. The only issue you'd have burying them in a lot of clear is if they lift or react badly to the clear you have lots of work to sand it all off. But that's rare.
Can I ask how you door the door gaps on this model and what you used on the wheels to dull them. Ive just got this model over here I the uk after watching you build it and any of the detail tips would be great 👍
Great build review! How did you get the shift boot to look so realistic? Future Floor Polish?? Thanks. I wanted a 1990 Toyota SR-5, extend cab; then I drove one. I bought a 1990 Toyota Celica GT-S (well, my mom bought it as a graduation present, lol). Love love love those trucks!
What's up- I'm wrapping this kit up, and am unable to find the rear tail-light lenses. I have the inserts, but not the lenses? They're not included with the glass and other lenses. What's that about?
Hi Chris, I hope you are doing well? Staying up late as always, watching You Tube. Nice model builds from your Workshop. You explain very well and a great job with the builds. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing and wishing you the very best. liked & shared :D love the old model kits.
I know those older Toyota pickups, mainly the 4X4’s,( one by one scale), you could get a kit to drop a small block Chevy engine down in them! A friend of mine had a early 80’s model Toyota 4X4 P/U , and he had put over 400,000 miles on the big 4 cylinder Toyota engine that came in the truck, so he bought the kit and dropped a Chevy 350 ci down in his. ( actually that may have been a 302 or 305 he put in )! He had planned to put a 350 in it but found out that motor was bad so it was one of the others he used! Anyways, that’s a good looking truck there! 👍
I want to make a perfect model of mine. I have a 2wd 1994 regular cab that says YO instead of TOYOTA. I can get a close match and customize it but I have no idea where to find the stock steel wheels
What a great build !! I really like this approach you have for building the models.. Always enjoy how they come together and the presentation. Thanks for sharing once again..:) Thumbs up ..:)
nice one i domt have a lot of experiance in the 1:20 kits but i like what i see those tires are basically 20 scale they look a bit akward on the 1:25 kits theyve been issued in they come out like larger diameter wheels in 1:25
Nicely done! Too bad no Baywatch decals. But I'm sure they're out there somewhere in aftermarket. Now, it would be great to see the Jurassic Park Ford Explorer! Remember that Lindberg 1/20 kit?
the JP truck kit is the wrong year model Ford Exploder. i hate that odd-ball 1/20 scale, so i'm converting a 1/25 scale diecast Explorer into the JP vehicle.
holy sh*t ....what a finish....yep you just set yourself a whole new standard with this one brother....best car kit by far....really excellent...i mean it...I'm not butt kissing here just truly impressed with such an overall look......you will have to follow this with care brother..lol.....new kits are going to be tough to beat buddy....incredible work that i would be happy in a heartbeat if i had done that........on a very serious note you use artists /craft paints and i wonder how you thin them for spraying??? a little nervous using them in the gun as i bought them after seeing you use them to effect????
Thanks Drew! For craft paints I thin them 50/50 with window washer fluid to start, then adjust up and down as needed depending if they spray too thin or thick.
sorry to bother you again bud, you said window washer fluid...what kind?? ..i know you say the cheap stuff but does it need to have certain chemicals to work and if so which ones please.....this is England so i need to pick the right stuff bud just in case they have banned the chemical element i need for some PC environment claptrap lol...please brother...sorry
You prolly dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all of the new series on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my gf for the last days =)
Do you mean the decals? The instruction sheet tells you how to use waterslide decals. I also demonstrate decals in numerous videos. See my Miller Beer trailer and other videos for how.
those chunky fat tyres were incredible on this truck.....but you remember how good they looked back then...this truck would take tractor tyres lmao....
Hello, Each square on the bench is 1 inch, you can see the size from the video. Or, if you take the length of the Toyota pickup in real life (you can google for that info) and divide by 20, you'll find the length of the kit. I do not have the kit here right now to measure for you but you'll be able to find out the length easily using the methods above.
@@hpiguy I was just wondering if there was any specs on the box about the exact dimensions since I couldn't find anything on google, thanks though, I think counting the grids gave me a good enough estimate
Google pulls up Edmunds and they say this version was 186 inches, which makes the kit 9.3 inches and that's just about spot on to what the kit was, minus the brush guard I used.
The V6 is a 3.0, the 3VZE, it was SOHC and actually a pretty bad engine, they blew headgaskets like crazy and were pretty underpowered. The 22R was much better.
I remember building this kit when it was offered by Lindberg. I still have the blazer. The chassis already painted and the body still in primer sitting in the box for over 16 years. Watching your videos makes me want to finish some of the kits I started.
Dive in and have fun!
I am planning to.... I have to stock up on supplies which I am slowly doing then I get back into the hobby.
a good cherry red would look beautiful.....this kit is made for the classic Toyota red...iconic truck....the truck that drove forever..lol...
Outstanding video. I had to watch it again. Plus I bought the kit again to build it in a different color.
Awesome! Thank you!
Awesome tips again Chris. The black sharpie trick? Awesome. I’ve used the silver sharpie on my ‘16 Stingray’s grille piece and mirrors, terrific! I’ll be using it for the coil over shocks on the Shelby as well. Thanks! Correction, I found a metallic silver sharpie, not the regular silver.
Thanks Dave!
My family has a late nineties Tacoma with the extended cab, four cylinder engine, five-speed manual, and 2wd.
Very cool!
I remember seeing this truck as a Baywatch model kit.. I'd almost forgotten about it.. cool truck 👍😀
Yeah that's why I mention it has the older cool Baywatch parts in it.
You were probably having difficulty finding pictures of a 3.5L v6 engine for a 1992 Toyota pickup because the v6's equipped in them were 3.0L's, known as the 3VZE. Awesome build and detail.

Well, at least my 2020 Tacoma TRD Pro has a 3.5 in it now. LOL My FJ has the 4.0.

Round2 is always good about replacement parts with proof of purchase.
Thanks for watching!
@@hpiguy I got it fixed it was a challenge but I did. It doesnt look broken at all.
wow,wow,wow....damn that classic metallic green is gorgeous...that is a show room stealer brother....wow....
Great job Chris! Just bought the kit to add to the stash. I have two Baywatch kits in there already. Who knew they were the same?
I has assumed it was the same kit but wasn't positive until I opened it up. Too bad no one makes replica decals, I'd build it as the beach truck for sure!
Thanks for the video. I recently bought one and look foreward to building it. I normally build in 1:24 / 1:25 scale so this will be a slight change.
It should go together real nice for you.
Id love to see how you do the little extra touches on these videos that makes the models like this truck look so good.
Good idea Dave!
What color did you use? I’m trying to make one for my little brother and I really like that color you used.
Rustoleum Metallic Green
So cool, did they ever make a xtra cab one?
This is a masterpiece. Thank you for the superior craftmanship & presentation!
Thanks for watching David!
that emerald green metallic is literally the only green guaranteed to look fantastic on a vehicle....it ALWAYS looks good be it Ferrari or Harley it never fails....
Excellent review. I'm doing this kit now. Very much appreciate the tips you included about the front glass and wheels.
I loved this kit. Enjoy yours!
That looks so good Chris!! My family is a Toyota fan all of our cars are Toyota's we have five of them!!! I definitely have to get that kit!!!! Thanks!!! :)
I like them, always good trucks and fun too.
Should have painted the frame brown and removed a few chunks to make it realistic. 😉 The V6 engines in these trucks were 3.0 liters.

This one is a nice factory fresh ride on the lot, just the way I remember. No time to rust out yet. ;)

hi, you mention the steering, can the wheels turn and the steer?

Thanks.
I don't really count how many I do. Quantity isn't what's important.
remember the bronco higher tyres with that huge clearance???? ....iconic of the 80's and early 90's ..???? ....they always looked superb.....
Great review and yet another pick-up truck I'd like to build!
Thanks Max!

Looks great! Do you know the wheelbase of the model? Thinking of using it for an RC rock crawler body.
Same, I want this because they fit really well on the deadbolt / Betty scx24 frame I believe
But I can’t find them anywhere, there are some on ebay but at mad prices
Does the kit come with paint or is it sold separately? Might get this kit for my pops this xmas
Did you watch the video? It will answer any of your questions. Thanks!
Can I ask how you door the door gaps on this model and what you used on the wheels to dull them. Ive just got this model over here I the uk after watching you build it and any of the detail tips would be great 👍
Use a flat clear to dull the chrome.

hpiguys Workshop - right on! 👍✌🏻
It may have already been said and if so, sorry for the repeat info but I think the engine is a 3.0l, the 3VZ-E
Hey man thanks for the info!
I've got a 1:1 version now and love it :)
Thanks for watching!
I had a 1978 toyota pickup 1:1. Boy was it small compared to now.
I want to make a perfect model of mine. I have a 2wd 1994 regular cab that says YO instead of TOYOTA. I can get a close match and customize it but I have no idea where to find the stock steel wheels
What a great build !! I really like this approach you have for building the models.. Always enjoy how they come together and the presentation. Thanks for sharing once again..:) Thumbs up ..:)
Thanks! Glad you like the videos.
how did you paint the logo in the front?
Close on the engine. Would be a 3.4 great work as always!
Thank you!
nice tiny trucks. could you let me know the wheelbase ?
what’s the deal with the tires? The one I got has tires with With rubber rims already inside of them.
nice one i domt have a lot of experiance in the 1:20 kits but i like what i see those tires are basically 20 scale they look a bit akward on the 1:25 kits theyve been issued in they come out like larger diameter wheels in 1:25
Thanks!
The engine is 3.0 L 3vze v6 also known as the 3. Slow
Yes, it's crying shame they didn't do the legendary 22RE here. When I build this kit I'll glue the hood shut and omit the V6 decal from the grille!
Nicely done! Too bad no Baywatch decals. But I'm sure they're out there somewhere in aftermarket. Now, it would be great to see the Jurassic Park Ford Explorer! Remember that Lindberg 1/20 kit?
I do have the Baywatch kit, but no scanner to copy the decals and reprint. I don't trust those 25 year old decals to try to use them.
the JP truck kit is the wrong year model Ford Exploder. i hate that odd-ball 1/20 scale, so i'm converting a 1/25 scale diecast Explorer into the JP vehicle.
I have this model in a lindberg kit, but with no instructions. Any chance you could get me a scan of yours?
I wouldn't have those, the boxes and everything left gets recycled.
I'd email Round2models and they might be able to email you a copy.
Looking Awesome! I'm Desparately looking for one . I want mine. Hobby Lobby doesn't have them yet!
Link in the description, AutoWorld does have them in stock. :)
Bought mine for 19.95 + 12.9 on EBay. No one local had it
Very nice build & review! Looks good in green!
Thanks!
Simply fantastic 👌🏼 great job!
Thanks man!

Another beautiful build Chris !!
Thanks Gary!
May have to get that....just ordered the 69'ols 442 w-40 that you did a build on.
It's a fun kit, I like the bigger size, something different.
Would like to see a 1:12 scale in this truck......epic detail I would think.
interior is perfect....this could be your new show piece car brother????
I am getting one this Friday or Saturday hopefully it is a good model to do it is my third one and I am 12
It's a fun kit, enjoy!
Can you tell me what the wheelbase is on the Toyota? Thanks
1/20th of a real one, don't have this truck on hand to measure, gave it to a friend with the same rig.
Whatsvthe track width of this model lit
You Did a Beautiful job.
Thanks Jesse!
Looks awesome Chris! Thanks for the video and review bud
Thank you bud!
beautiful, love the color friend
Thanks as always Rik!
The volcano then and now the hurricane on August 25. A nightmare to Hawaii.
They are not having an easy time out that way, very rare when a hurricane hits Hawaii! Those poor people!

You can just use Windex, any basic window cleaner (water/ammonia/alcohol) that doesn't have RainX or that stuff in it.
bless you brother......thank you
Another great build.
Thanks Samuel!
the brush guard and roll bar are sacred brother lmao .......like building a tank but not adding the barrel lmao.....
feel like this would have been cooler as a 1:24 scale rather then 1:20
