OK, in this thread is talking about european diecast, but also some topics talk about Tomica, and that brand make almost only japanese cars. So here an example of japanese car in small scale

One of my latest custom inedits model of diecast car is now a foreign car of 36 years ago. It was important part of the Toyota line of that era, is the predeccesor of todays Camry. I´m talking about the 1971 Toyota Corona,

enjoy the images

I hope you like it. Questions and coments are welcome :)

Thanks for sharing your custom - looks good.

Perhaps is not a european car, but looks so nice, like something that could be from Norev or Tomica Limited Vintage

Nice custom

Interesting custom - i cannot figure out what casting you began with. A friend´s girlfriend ran a 1969 Toyota Corona Mk1 until only a couple of years ago and her car had a 45 degree slope to the front.But your front does remind me of the Toyota Crown Mk1 , an example of which lived a few streets away for many years also into this millenium.
I always liked the 1972-75 Toyota Corona Mk2 and Corrolla Mk2 and hope one day to find good 1/43 scale models of these.For anyone that likes the Toyota Corona Mk2 s there is a yellow one playing a starring role in the 1973 French movie whose title translates as ´the driving license´ and the moral of the story is to get a license before you buy a new Toyota!

Great comments, thanks a lot!!

Hello pal,

I love that car.. in fact, I drive one of them.

I would like to know where can I get some of those models...
