Here's a quick review of the Monogram 1/32 scale "Datsun Camper", kit #1013. It's your basic '70s Monogram Snap-Tite kit, with simplified everything, low parts count, styrene tires, and lots of molded in details. This kit contains 18 parts and is molded in red, creme, and black. The 5-slot wheels are nicely done, and they mount inside Formula Super Stock (remember those?) big 'n' little tires.This is a curbside model with a molded-closed hood, though there is decent lower engine detail molded with the chassis/floorboard piece. A removable camper top/topper/cap (I've heard it referred to as all three) is included, as well as the"glass" which fits inside the cap. The front bumper is a separate piece, and the rear cab wall and a small section of the bed floor is also a separately molded piece.

Here are the included parts:
