skid896 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 First pickup build, Revell Datsun kit that had heat damage with a warped roof. Rather than thrown it away I decided to build and practice with large decals as I haven't tried fitting them before. Box cover showed a white truck with chrome but I decided to try a metallic mint green and go with black bull bars and detailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Very nice build. Great color choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Your color choice looks more like what you would have seen on the street. The dented roof, that could often happen if used as an Off Roader. Nice build and the body problems don't really take away from the overall look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skid896 Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 Thanks guys, I enjoyed building it, definitely will be attempting some more off roaders in the future. Might have a go at the Toyota Landcruiser or if I can find it a model of a 90s Nissan Patrol, always wanted one of those two but never had enough cash and the roads and weather don't really justify one in England, narrow roads lot of rain but not much snow unlike on the continents.

thejunkman Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I like it. I have this same kit to build, only I have a VERY different direction I want to go with it. Can you link your build thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slotto Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 What a neat little truck! I dig it. Nice build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Very Sharp Build! I'll second the Colour choice. Looks like what many of those trucks did here in Cali, when the got their first non-factory paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
