In a slight diversion this is a Series 3 Land Rover that I have been working on.
It is basically an Italeri kit, but I had replaced the axles and suspension with Tamiya parts (as well as the bonnet). I have also used brass detail parts as well as Accurate Armour wheels.
I know, not Japanese, but it does come from the 70s (as do the Tamiya and Italeri kits used)
