Happy Cinco De Datsun! I own a '72

Better pic of the wheels

I think the rims are a leftover from this version

Yup, I have one but now it looks like I need a second one! I wish Hasegawa would sell those figures separately

Very nice, but, shouldn't this post be in the Aftermarket section?

Sweet! That RB is a snug fit!

Nice Kenmeri!

Nice! It just inspired me and made me hungry! LOL!

I have sold parts kits ranging from $2 to $5 bucks, depending on how incomplete they are. Some I have just given away and sometimes I have combined kits to sell as a lot.

Whoa! How did I miss this build! It's awesome!

/|\ /|\ /|\ That sucks! Local shop or mail order

From a Japanese model board, I think http://www.hobidas.com/blog/j-tipo/desktop/nissan-datsun/

Yup, little tuner car with fart pipe

So, does this make it a Muscle Car?

The simple fact is that not many kids today will enjoy what we got to enjoy, and some more than others, in finding and getting a "Muscle Car" Maybe their dad, uncle or grandfather has one, but, they will most likely not. The days of finding even a simple Duster, Falcon or six cylinder anything are gone. At least around here. For today's generation, these are their "Muscle Cars" or "Tuners" And to see what they can do is quite impressive. Sure, there are such animals as the Demon, Wildcat, Camaro SS or even a Shelby Mustang, but what kid can actually even come close to affording that? So why not a Subaru, Honda/Acura or Nissan? There are other, but these come to mind. To each generation their own.

I think the term Muscle Car has become as Generic as Rat Rod and is pretty liberally applied to almost anything.

Yes, that idea did cross my mind. Thinking of using the parts out of the flip nose 57 or 53 Ford Pick up.

Oh wow! That is nice!

That is one sad list

Great work, Mattia! Super clean and a great subject! Bravo!

Clean little car! Nice build!!

Oh yeah!

Honestly, I was hoping we would get at least one shot of the Flip Nose version that was not the monster truck.

Wow, sad to lose another modeler. Condolences to his family, friends and the model community.
