This is my version of the already beautiful Hasegawa Nissan Sunny Truck. I started with the original and decided to modify it to the mood I was in at that time. I cut the front end off and added the C1 MODELS HAKOSUKA TRANSKIT. I added a custom front indicators since they come as stickers. I made the hood mechanism so that the hood opens towards the front. I added the Nissan Skyline engine, added two turbos, added spark plug wires and other minor details in the engine bay. I painted the vehicle in Splash Paints, Renaissance Red. I cut the roof and added the sunroof. I added a wire antenna for a custom look. I had to cut and narrow the frame through the bed area to fit the aftermarket Fujimi wheels. The bed fender wells were cut off and new scratch built ones were added. The truck is not perfect there are minor details that bug me like the hood doesn't close all the way towards the back but is hardly noticeable. Please let me know what you guys think and give me feedback since I'm still new to this hobby and have tons to learn. Sorry about the picture quality.

Thank you20200406_180608.thumb.jpg.b13f09d0c46244457c90857ce0cf1f6a.jpg20200406_180414.thumb.jpg.942c10ab30ac6108e04eee5843fc95b6.jpg

Great build!

You made good use of the C1 kit. Was it hard to connect the two together? Stance is great, as is your wheel choice.

 

Thank you, It really wasn't that bad. You just have to take your time and follow the body panels. I used the superglue to hold the half together and it held up.

I like it !... as said, the stance and wheels are well done..

engine compartment looks good..little hint ..leave just a bit more wire, so you can drape them a little more...they look a little tight..

Love the new front end !

Keep em coming?

Great Build. That engine is very nice, and I'll echo what others said about your wheel choice.  It is perfect.

Thank you very much.
