  1. I really like the look of those wheels with the tires. whats the diameter of the new tire? please post up if you or anyone else remember the caster or know of any others I'm looking to build a 1/20 dodge ram with an 10 lug conversion and those would be great if the size is right I know the lindberg 1/20 trucks measure to be about 2 1/4 inch diameter with the stock tires but that is a bit to big I also haven't been able to find Just the wheels and tires so I dont have to buy a whole kit
  2. Any pictures? Ive never owned one but Ive always liked the Datusn pickups as a kid I just started to strip and repair an old 1/20 model
  3. Sorry for all the pictures. The roof seems like some filler and primer would be enough. The hood already seems to be losing detail and the lines are getting thin and wavy for the center bulge the chips seem like it would be best to use a small piece of styrene and some sort of filler The A pillars seem to be pretty bad where the sun visor was (blech ) the rockers seem like it may be best to cut off and rebuild in styrene sheet for the bed I have found some evergreen that matches very very closely so i will cut out the bottom and do that Ive only used styrene a few times so everything is still new but I'm sure with time and help i can get most of this done My biggest concerns are the A pillar and hood
  4. I should also say that I am 31 and haven't assembled or painted a model in about 16-20 years.
  5. I have an old Datsun 1/20 pickup that was unpainted and fully assembled. I got it apart but there are some chips and a a few glue marks that are difficult to sand. What can i use as filler to repair the area where a small corner has chipped off? should I just glue thin styrene to the back and fill with something? Ive read about using acetone to melt styrene and use as glue. Would this be the best idea? any tips for smoothing out the glue marks without sanding off body detail? Once the body is straight It seems I paint and primer much like a real car because I haven't been able to find another 1/20 datsun pickup Id like to get this nice and straight to make a mold for a resin copy I plan to make this a scale offroad RC trail truck so I am sure I will need another body at some point,However the first goal is getting this one in good shape Thanks for any help!
