Today we have a new contributor. Güney Baloğlu shares Hasegawa's Toyota Truck model.
The Toyoda G1 was the first truck produced by the company (Toyota) and was based on the Ford-GM trucks. As technology advanced, the G1 was replaced by similar Toyota trucks (such as the G and K series). The KC type, which I modeled, was introduced in 1943 and was an improved version of the KB type. It had a 3.4 L Type B I6 engine. One of the special uses of the KC truck was to start aircraft engines at Japanese military airfields. A shaft extending from the rear of the transmission was connected to the aircraft propeller cone to start the aircraft engines. As material shortages worsened in the final days of the war, most of the body was made of wood, the headlights were reduced to one, and only the rear brakes were used.
