Sam I Am

Well said !

I think they are both looking great!

Now this is crazy, I have owned three rangers myself. Two '86s and a '88.

I did not know that about the hauler. Thanks for the info. I see a couple of mine being turned into moving vans.

That was fast ! Thanks Ron

15 years ago or more I picked up this resin flat hood off of eBay. I built the model below and sent it to a friend as a gift. I want to build another one and wondered if anyone knew where I could get another hood. TIA, Sam

Can I ask just what you do to make them into a moving van? I have a few of these myself and only plan on building one of them into a race hauler. Thanks

Nice build! I have one of these trailers in the stash and wondered how they looked.

Oh wow yea ! Looking awesome!

Cool Jungle Jim set !! I still have all my H.O. stuff from the '70s. Lots of magna track, and g+, plus early Tyco. Some JL model motoring cars 'cause the bodies are cool. Large track sets in both AFX and Tyco. My interests have gone into more modern 1/32, so the H.O. stuff hasn't been touched in years.

I have had too much caffeine today or I am just getting old. Either way, my hand is not as steady as it once was. Not happy with how the dash turned out but am calling it good before I make it even worse.

Love junkyards, I bought a huge one a few years ago...then moved...now I don't have room to unpack it and find anything.

No kidding...that is the most convaluted thing I ever saw.

Thanks again Greg, I will be using a combo of the kits crossover and your upper connection... baffle them with baloney. Bill, here ya go, it is Duplicolor.

You might mock up some tanks and boxes below the frame to see if that pulls the height down, esthetically speaking....before cutting more off the top.

All I can say is "WoW!!!"

WoW JC ! First Falcons and now Datsuns. I have owned three of these 620s and would love to find another one. My '78 2.0 5spd with a Weber was the most fun to drive. I built a number of the old MPC variations as a kid. Now you will have me looking for another one.

Everyone has been so helpful and supportive, thanks all ! So I have all the basic interior pieces painted and after some detail painted and assembly will be ready to go. Also have most of the chassis finished and had to sit the cab on for a mockup.

Thanks Jeff, it is Tamiya TS-30 over Tamiya grey primer.

Oh wow, now I will start looking for one of my own. You guys are not nice....

Thanks Jim, that picture shows me where the air filter stack goes in relation to the top of the cab. There is no spot on the air filter assembly showing where part #7 should attach. This also shows me where the exhaust stack goes in relation to the air intake stack. Part #10 that goes from the crossover pipe to the stack is missing from my kit. So your pic shows me what my height should look like and once they are glued down I can bend my own #10

Getting more fiddly bits sorted, painted, and attached. One question for those who have built this kit with the single exhaust. Can you please post a pic here of how the air intake/exhaust stacks mount up. The instructions are a little vague and I may even be missing a part...

Funny how sinks turn into parts washers...spray booths...etc.

Looking good Bill!
