Kyosho Original 1/18 Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Beige KS08958BE

　Model 40, the third generation Land Cruiser. It was sold for 24 years from 1960 and was the number one long-selling model in Japan. Not only in Japan, but also overseas, it has been highly evaluated as a highly reliable cross-country 4WD, and it is also a model that has increased its name recognition worldwide. The chassis is the second-generation carryover, and there are four types of wheelbases: short, middle, long, and super long, mainly for overseas markets. The body was also available with a hood/hardtop/pickup truck/with a cab, boasting a wide variety of variations to respond to the usage environment. The engine was only a 3.8-liter in-line 6-cylinder gasoline engine at the time of its debut, but in 1974, Japan's first 3-liter in-line 4-cylinder diesel (3.6-liter in-line 6-cylinder diesel for the first time overseas) was added. In addition to the high economic efficiency, it is possible to register 4 number small cargo, and individual demand is expanding in addition to corporate customers so far. The number of units sold has increased dramatically. Substantial improvements were made in 1979 and 1980, and the color of the commercial vehicle faded, and it continued to evolve into a comfortable and powerful 4WD that matched the times. In 2022, parts will be resold from GR Heritage Parts, and it is still very popular even after more than 60 years since its introduction.
