dougwintz Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Will, this MPC model reminds me of how hard it is to build an older kit. Needed a lot of work in terms of fit. And because there are no decals, there also no place to hide in terms of paint. Glad to have this one done, and on to the next! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Looks good. Just had mine out looking at it a few hours ago. it's about 1/2 done and in about the same color as yours. Looks cool with the Cragars. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look more to scale than the tires in the kits, and I wanted to go for an East Los Angeles vibe. If I could make the car hop, I would!

espo Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Great looking paint work and engine detailing. Datsun offered a shade of orange just like this and was a commonly seen color for these in my neighborhood. The wheels and tires look good on this.
