The Pajero aka Shogun aka Montero has been one of Mitsubishi’s biggest exports of Domestic Vehicles after the Lancer. Ever since its crowning glory at the 1984 Paris Dakkar the Pajero become synonymous with toughness as the HILUX was to indestructibility. The lower trims were gear grinding workhorses that pushed through punishing terrain with a full contingent sitting in the back.
Higher trim levels employed more technology and luxury with plenty of gauges to tell you the state you are in or shouldn’t be in.
Now combine this iconic SUV with the iconic details and reproduction skills of TOMICA’s TLVN line and you have something that will have collectors of 1/64 scale cars clamouring to get their hands on. Finished in standard factory colours, this model perfectly embodies every single stock standard part found on the actual SUV. Metal etched parts have also been added into the production process, and I find the tiniest logos have been given a nice 3D effect.
TOMICA TLVN line doesn’t generate a lot of models for the year but what they release is always spot on I personally have not had a single defect on any of the models I have opened. All models seems like they were rendered with meticulous care and then produced with the same amount of commitment as the actual cars. The best example of TLVN’s dedication to detail is a fire truck that they released last year with an actual scale size of the ladder at the back.
Year after year TLVN drops some amazing release 99% of them based on Japanese branded cars or utility vehicles and year after year collectors scramble to get their hands on them calling in favours from mates in other countries paying any price. You can see why.
