Seriously nice stuff. The Merc Nomad is imaginative and well proportioned. I like the trailing edge door window detail especially. And how the roof line falls away a little bit , echoing the lines of the original coupe and avoiding the delivery can look. It looks like you may have extended the headlights a bit. Am I mistaken in that?

It's great to see a full kit on the Datsun, engine and all!

It all looks crisp and clean. Looking forward to more.

Best of Luck,

B.

Thanks Bernard I am glad that you like it. I just got lucky with all the lines fitting the way they do. :(

i didn't touch the headlights and you need no modifications to the chasis. Just a little bit of the rear seat.

Tell Carlos to go chase someone in a boat, he has too much time on his hands...

Superb kit Ariel...I've been trying to buy an old Doyusha kit to do the same thing myself, but now I can rest easy. I'll get one off you, after that Cortina kit! Just a question, would you sell the hubcaps separately? They look very similar to an Australian Fairlane, for which I'm scratchcbuilding a kit at the mo. If so, can you please let me know the cost? Also, how much to post the Datsun kit to Australia?

Well done again.

Cheers,

Duane
