Perhaps doing custom vehicles provides some sort of loophole past trademark violations.

Sent him an email. He said he made 50 928 Pickup model kit. He sent me a link to his website.

"Dear 1/43 models fans, We have been dedicated to promoting unique hand-made model cars and kits for a long time. I hold the opinion that we should collect special and unique model cars instead of commonly seen or average models. “Unique Model! Unique Color!” is my slogan. You can be very creative, add new elements on my rare model car kits and paint different colors on them based on your preference !

I believe the shop that did this, managed to convert 8 cars, before the tax loophole was closed. Thus it seems that substantially more models have been made, than actual real examples...
