Pics: Kyosho 1936 Toyota (Toyoda) AA
I received this this week. I am amazed by the quality and detail. The interior is sublime too. It came all the way from China in just 2 weeks and only ? 20 incl. shipping.
I added a compare picture of the 1934 Chrysler airflow by Brooklin and a 1935 by Altaya.I think, that mr. Toyoda used (copied) the shape of these Airflows. This was often done by the Japanese, walking around with their camaras on exhibitions.
I also add a picture of the unrestored car in the Louwman Museum. This was a find in Siberia

Fascinating post, Jacques. That airflow design was ahead of its time.
That Kyosho model is beautiful.

A nice looking model in black. I have considered it. I have one in tan.
