Datsun Pickup

Just Jim · February 16, 2021

This is a kit bash between an MPC Datsun Scavenger Monster Truck and an AMT Gremlin X. I used the truck frame to create a Gremlin Monster Truck. Now I’m attempting to build the truck on the Gremlin frame. Since this was kind of a throwaway project, I decided to try my hand at weathering. Attempted to weather the windows (shout out to Dr. Cranky for the excellent YouTube video). Would have turned out great except I forgot to mask the inside of the window when spraying the dull clear coat.? Thus, it's hard to see the wiper marks especially in the pictures. Paid tribute to its Gremlin heritage with decals of gremlins on the truck bed and the gremlin license plate. This was a large undertaking for me with lots of firsts. In the end I think it turned out okay. As always, thanks for looking.
