Thanks for viewing.

The Ultimate Fire Stopper

Got this TLV-N Hino Fire Engine with the help of Alex/Tomylord. When he handed this to me at our last DCPH Swap Meet, I was very surprised with it's huge box. This maybe is the largest TLV box I've ever seen.

I don't collect Tomica fire engines except for the Tomica Limited since I'm trying to complete the line. Got a few Tomica Limited Vintage fire engines as well but not all, I only try to collect 1 variant of each release.

I tried to research on specs and history of this Hino TC343 Fire Engine but there was none. So enough with this and let the photos talk! Enjoy! =)

TLV-N13 Nissan Violet 1400 Deluxe

Before the Nissan Stanza, there was the Nissan Violet, a sister car to the Nissan Sunny, which sold outside Japan under Nissan's Datsun marque as the Datsun 140J/160J — except in the United States where it was the Datsun 710. This model was built as a 2-door saloon, 2-door coupé, 4-door fastback, 4-door notchback, estate, and van. The Violet was placed above the Nissan Sunny but just slightly below the Nissan Bluebird. Introducing the Violet allowed Nissan to moderately increase the dimensions of the older Nissan Bluebird.

TLV-N15 Honda TN-V Truck

This Honda TN-V Truck is categorized as a Japanese Mini Truck. They are commonly referred to as Kei Trucks. They are mini trucks that are used regularly in Japan for a variety of duties. From warehouse deliveries, to working on farms. These little trucks are quite impressive. These little wonders are imported into other countries for their decent cargo capacity.

The rear canvass type cover provides comfort of being in an enclosed cab to keep nasty dust, dirt and weather out while they remain dry and comfortable inside.

TLV-N12 Toyota Carina 1600 DX

The Toyota Carina was a Japanese large family car, initially launched in 1970 and exported to Europe and the United States. It finished production in 2000 as a mid-sized four-door sedan sold in the Japanese market. It was typically marketed as a four-door version of the Celica. Over time, it became a sister car to the Corona but was sportier, with distinctive bodywork and interior—aimed at the youth market and generally filling a niche between the Corolla and Corona.

The first-generation Carina was manufactured in 1970 (and launched in Europe in October 1971). Show room appeal was enhanced by the inclusion in the price of reclining seats with built-in head restraints, radio, clock, reversing lights and servo-assistance on the brakes: these were features which, where available on competitor models, tended to be offered only as options at extra cost.

The A10 Carina was also exported to the US, but sales volumes were disappointing. US exports stopped after only two years.

The original model featured a 1588 cc OHV engine, with 4-speed gearbox and front-wheel disc brakes. It was revised in 1972 with a restyled body, new rear light cluster and filler cap repositioned in rear quarter panel, restyled front grille and fascia. The specification was once again revised in 1974 including sealed cooling system, improved brakes, restyled wheels with flared wheel arches, and restyled interior fittings. For 1976, it received a new front and rear-end styling, dual-line braking system with servo and a repositioned handbrake and gear lever. Wheelbase was increased slightly.

Here are more photos of my 1/64 scale TLV-14 Prince Clipper Truck and TLV-No9a Isuzu BU04 type Bus by Tomytec in a diorama setup. These photos will show the perfect 1/64 scale comparison of the bus and the medium sized truck.
