Bernard Kron Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 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.

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. Edited April 24, 2008 by Ariel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

degruch Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 yes the bumpers and hub caps will be plated. If i can get a hold of good pics It may even have photo ecth 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
