The instructions call for TS-37 "Lavender" paint, but
my daughters were highly offended claiming that this color is nothing
like lavender. Maybe its a translation problem. In any case,
I think it looks pretty good. In terms of a appearance, this
truck can appear a bit monotonous since it is all one color without much
contrast and hardly any stickers. I was worried that it would be
too much of a strong color and look bad. Although I do wish it was
a bit more decorated, I still think it looks great. Particularly
after you hook up a trailer, the amount of purple doesn't stand out so
much. I also like that the tall wind deflector fairs nicely with
the top of the trailer making everything look like it fits together just
right which, of course, it does.
Here's the real 1996 Aeromax for comparison. Look familiar? I
think this brochure photo also tells us where Tamiya got the color.
