You have some serious skills! Very nice!! -
Got something I have wanted for quite some time, a Cheetah! It is the older Exotic Miniatures version that I believe is a pull of the old Cox body,but, it is in great shape!

I know! But, I guess he had his fun and he did not build anymore. But, he did keep a mint Revell Surf Fink, Monogram Little T and another kit I can seem to recall. Said he wanted to give them to his grandson and maybe build those with him. I was tempted to offer him some current re-issues in trade, but, I already got some good stuff, Why be greedy?

So, I get an email from a gentleman who got my info off the club website. He has some old models that he would like to get rid of. The wife said clean the shed and he no longer builds. He tells me they are mostly parts and some old builds from when he was a kid in the 60's and if I don't take them, they will be going into the trash! As it turns out, it was the early 60's! It is a mixture of builds, parts and almost complete kits. Started going through it last night and this is what I have found so far. Will post more when I sorted it out better

Yes, the lack of a windshield frame had me hoping, but you are right, it does not have the AWB chassis.

Very nice tin work! Great job all around and to be honest, most new slicks are pretty darn shiny when new, so I will go with new slicks.

Different! I like it!

An F-85 funny re-issue would be awesome! No more crazy collector prices!

Datsun 510s
Daddyfink replied to Austin T's topic in 1:1 Reference Photos: Auto Shows, Personal vehicles (Cars and Trucks)
Ok, all Datsun 510 cars in Japan are called Bluebirds. U.S. is Datsun 510 and the rest of the world, Datsun 1600. The fastback style roof version is a Bluebird Coupe and it has that very distinctive roof line. The roof is actually lower and thus none of the glass interchanges between the coupe and the two door. The tail lights are another telltale sign that it is a coupe. There where other tail light options in Japan and other countries, but, but the coupe just came with one style. And yes, they are sequential And the interior is also special to the Coupe, with a full compliment of gauges instead of idiot lights. Also, the rear seat folds down to make more trunk space and the door panels run all the way to the top of the door for a more luxurious effect! They also came with the SSS package with includes a more sporty engine with dual carbs and some flashy SSS badges. The Coupe was mostly a Japan only car and it was not offered in the U.S. Over the years a few have been imported along with some of the unique parts and they have been used by guys like me with the domestic version of the car. Hope that helps! Jesse C, -

I highly doubt a Snap Together kit will have more than the picture on the box. I just hope the stripe is not painted on! -

Newly reissued Revell BRE Datsun 510 Racecar kit
Daddyfink replied to '70 Grande's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Union Models 510 is the Revell Brock Buster kit that was last issued as the Tuner kit. The only difference is the box and instructions. They also released the BRE 510 Race car and the BRE 240Z At one time they where the only way to get these kits until Revell re-issued them.
