TLV-60 Mitsubishi Leo


The Leo, which was launched in 1959, was Mitsubishi's first ever K-car. A 3-wheeled vehicle, available in both truck and van styles, it had a load carrying capacity of 300kg and became popular for the delivery of goods mainly in cities.





When production stopped in 1962, about 28,000 Leos had been produced and sold. The twin head lamps and all steel cabin were characteristic of the Leo. Though unconfirmed, there are still five units of the Leo in Japan today.

TLV-51 Mazda T2000

I tried searching the web for the history of the Mazda T2000 but I always ended up with the Mazda Mazdago.



The Mazdago's a three-wheeled open truck produced in 1931 that resembled a motorcycle with an open wagon or truck bed. It was considered to be the first autorickshaw. Over the years, it would be produced in different variants and other similar designs such as the Mazda K360 and T2000.

I'm really impressed with Tomytech on how they produced this highly detailed 1/64 scaled model.
