Very nice!!

Not familiar with this kit Patrick, does it in include full engine detail?

Thanks Trevor & Mark. The kit like the 1:1 has the battery installed at an angle. Didn't care for that so I reshaped the notch and made a simple battery tray.

I like this livery more than the red/white/blue of the original.

I have a few Japanese modeling magazines. The photos are great but I find it frustrating being unable to read the text.

Thanks Ray. Fabricated the exhaust.

I'll add fuel lines to the carbs during final assembly but otherwise the engine is complete.

Very nice Anders.

Very good Mika.

Stripped the chrome from the cam cover and painted it semi-gloss black Using a small flat file removed the paint from the raised detail Added a vent tube from shaped wire

Very nice build indeed.

Impressive work Dann!

Very nice conversion Rich. Shadow were very innovative in their day.

Nice Datsuns Eric. I like the red wheels and yellow lenses on the pickup. Did you do anything to the engine?

It must be a cult. They are great little trucks IMHO.

Exactly what did you intend to do in the back Ray? Thanks for sharing, good looking truck! Is that your BIL's truck I see in the first photo?

They were a young boy's wish books! At least they were for me.

Very nice Ethan.

Coming along nicely.

I have this kit Bruce, I'll be following. The HRM wheels you are using are 6-hole Halibrands often seen on the FIA Cobras.

Looks very nice despite the trouble it gave you. I agree it would be nice to have a standard body version of the Mk I. I have the Belkits and will take it on someday. I bought the Scale Productions engine bay insert and have the twin-cam or BDA engine to install. I did a super detail build of the Esci Mk II RAC rally car awhile back - worked on it for 2 years (!)

Haven't seen any that old, what year(s) are they?

My '85 was similar to this but black with Cragar wheels. The '93 looked like this except silver on top, blue on the bottom: The 2010 looks like this but I have factory fog/driving lights. Its a 4x4.

Not typically a fan of the large diameter wheels but they look good Pat. Like the color combination as well.

Please post your pictures Ray if get a chance, would like to see them. Never had a Datsun but I'm on my 3rd Ford Ranger! ('85, '93, '10)
