INNO64 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60

This one was roughly $25 with shipping.  surplusgoodies is a reputable seller on eBay & I highly recommend them.  Great experience, every single time.  Also see other recommended seller on the right side of the page.  

INNO I think is Chinese?  When I buy a INNO model, while I don't except perfect execution, I tend to expect a very interesting model + high level of detail & realism.  Even with somewhat rough looking headlights, FJ60 did not disappoint.  There even were couple of amazing surprises.  

 

Really sad photography.  Sorry.  It's been awhile I did macro diorama shots & I was rusty to say the least. 😭

Okay.  Surprise #1:  Roof rack.  It's not too skinny, it's not bloated.  I think it's the most well detailed & the best looking rack at this scale.  INNO nailed it.  👍

 

Surprise #2: Instrument cluster!  See those gauges?  In 1/64 scale?  Add the side mirrors(TLV would make you install it yourself most of the time).  I found it very impressive.

I thought $25 was bit steep, but after seeing those two surprises, I can recommend these to any collectors or Land Cruiser fans!  

 

INNO Models February Releases: Toyota Levin & 1996 Honda Accord

This surprised me more than when I saw Civic from INNO.  Another cool vintage JDM in 1/64.

Amiami's pictures are tiny & useless.  Ironically, these pictures from "Tiny" website are of decent size.  I've never ordered/preordered from Tiny website, but their prices seems to be lower than that of amiami(amiami has great international shipping rates though).

Amiami has some decent lineup of INNO 1/64 cars, but I would recommend looking around for better selection & better price before pulling the trigger.  I never got the chance to blog it, as I'm getting away from this hobby, but I have one of their Honda Civic Advan race car?  It's a very cleanly detailed model.  Very impressive!

INNO Models 1/64 Honda Civic

Another one incoming:  INNO Models(INNO website / Facebook).  More Civics.

Tough habit to break.  Retro Civic = Buy.  I saw a preorder for this on amiami & I had to give them a shot.  They also had Mugen version as well.  I settled for just plain white(w/decals) + Idemitsu(my fav).

For maybe just over $20 a pop, they are not cheap.  I've never heard of INNO Models, but I hope they do well.  It looks like they recognize how successful Civic castings tend to be, but they also wanted to stand out from the rest little bit.  Yes, Civics again, but most collectors don't have Civics like these in their collection.  :)

I also saw this on amiami, but I wasn't feeling the sedan or the livery(just personal taste):

Looking good so far.
