A little dated by modern appearances, but could be used for some civilian, Sci-Fi, rebel militia, or Post-Apocalyptic survivor uses.

Actually, come to think about it, I believe this may be a reissue as I recall seeing it many years ago. Sorry.

Hi Peter -
That is what was called a Honda Odyssey - it had a 125 or 250cc (can't remember which) two stroke engine - and a gravity flywheel transmission. There was no rear suspension, just the big bouncy tires, while up front coil over shocks.
They were fun, I had one! very prone to rolling! so, the roll bar served a real purpose! you had to remember, if it was going over, DON'T let go of the steering wheel (to break the fall), or you could do some serious damage/breaking to your arm!, as this was fairly heavy!
Maybe a catalyst for my current interest in roll bars, back then I modified the roll bar to make it six point, with nerf bars on the sides....good times...

Hi Nick,
What's interesting is that one can modify this kit with today's aftermarket resin accessories, all depending on how much one is willing to spend.
There are 1/24 bucket seats with headrest, racing seatbelts, headlights, spotlights, decals, shovels, pick axes, chainsaws, and even 1/24 machine guns and fuel cans.
I'm thinking more in terms of Sci-Fi/Post-Apocalyptic Fast Attack or Anti-zombie Vehicle, but really, one can change the general outlook of this vehicle with add-on parts, which makes the idea so neat.
Thanks for the info!
