HI, are you looking at diecast or Radio Control? What size? I'm sure there are a few folks here who could do those graphics pretty easily. Oh and welcome to the site.

Im looking for a diecast model...perhaps a 1:24 scale oh and thank you =)

I was just looking at model suppliers and it looks like it might be hard to find a Samuri/Sidekick for the build-up. At least the newer ones like in the picture, if I see something I'll let you know, but initaly it's looking like not many were made.

That's a KickTrack body, and as far as I know, they were never made in 1/24 scale. There are a couple of the Samurai / Jimny model kits, I'm currently trying to track one down.

Looks like it would take a lot of fabrication and I can't think of anything very close to use as a donor. If anybody does make one, I hope they splash it and make copies!

Alright thanks...it doesnt have to be 1/24 scale really thats what id prefer jsut because its not too big or not too small but anything will do really

I might be able to make one out of Polystyrene but not in 1/24 scale more like in Bit charg G scale 1/64. Or I might be able to make one in Epoch or 1/43 scale. I have built custom bodies before but only in the smaller scales. If I was to build in 1/24 scale I would have to have something to use as a donor and like Frizzen said there is nothing to be found close to that body unless I am not finding it?

found a few models on ebay:

funny looking tamiya version of the suzuki jimny here

here is a fujimi suzuki jimny, base off the tracker chassis and supposed to be the same thing, but i don't see the resemblence here

and the best looking one, the fujimi 1/24 suzuki escudu here

thanks for those! yeah the last 2 look better but i wish they had it in black.

steelwoolghandi it doesnt have to be 1/24 scale...i just thought that that would be the best size but even if its smaller i think my bf would be happy with it

That one is the one to go with. The body design is same as what you're looking for.

Here in the states, it was badged the Geo Tracker, and Suzuki Sidekick.

I could build one of those models that civic found into a body for an RC I think an X-Mod would be the best chassis format to use for that scale. Its cheaper and if its going to be mostly for desplay you dont want to spend a bunch.

I too am supprised ya'll found those links I was looking for hours!

I thought the Escudo was a 4wd hatchback car, not a kicktrack.

Looks like I was wrong. Now I've got to decide if I should try building a SuperSlicks 1/43 Sammie or a Kicktrack.
