My wife bought me a new HZ-J75 for Christmas. I just have to put it together, and it comes with an anti-aircraft gun.

I was actually thinking of posting something similar...my fiance bought me a 2015 double cab 70 series...

 

[coldtaco]

Awesome. I need to find one of those too.

It is about the size of a matchbox car.

Where did you find the 75 series I've been searching but can't find anything.

 

[coldtaco]

Try googling MENG, I think it's called. I won't be home till Friday night.

Coldtaco, are you going to do any mods (turbo, lift kit, winch, etc)?

 

[coldtaco]

Gonna leave it stock for now

Ah well, looks like i didn't garner any laughs.
I do hope you take your time with that model, and make it look as realistic as possible; then photograph it in just the right context, and make it look real (i suggest a low depth-of-field on the camera settings, just the right background, and try to fool us into believing it's a picture of the real thing).
Hope you enjoy it all!

I thought I was doing a good job of playing along?

 

[61Mk+]

I ain't complaining! And i am following this build thread.

 

[coldtaco]

Tub is installed.
