chryslerjunkandstuff Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 Yo, So, in the early 2000s, and until around 2016-ish, a 2WD 1992 Nissan D-21 King Cab pickup served as my ready-steady dd, until it rusted into oblivion.. It was pretty much the same as the one in this pic, though mine was much darker green, and retained it's factory pinstripes and lettering, the one in this pic has clearly been repainted, and they didn't exactly get the color right : I was quite fond of the tough as nails, ugly little ba$tard, and I want to do a build of it.. So, the answer is YES, I am well aware of the 1/20 scale kit, and it is indeed nice and detailed, BUT I don't do 1/20 scale.. 1/24 or 1/25 so that it matches all my other stuff in terms of scale.. Do any of you know of a 1/24 kit in styrene, likely from a Japanese company, perhaps a resin kit, or a diecast? I appreciate any insight, thanks!

stitchdup Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 Its available as a 3d print https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/nissan-hardbody-d21-1994 or https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/nissan-hardbody-d21-extended-cab-1994 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncbuckeye67 Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 It would be nice to have a 1/25th scale version of this truck, and the Tacoma too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 I think 3d printing is the only option right now for anything other than the 1/20 AMT kit. In both the Nissan and the Toyota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarfan Posted Sunday at 06:51 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:51 PM Since cloning tools is a thing now, I'd love to see Round 2 clone the Hardbody and Tacoma Lindberg tools they already own except turn them into 1/25th versions so those of us with Modeling OCD could enjoy them.

bobthehobbyguy Posted Sunday at 07:44 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:44 PM I suspect that the operation is more complicated than scanning a 1/20th scale it and then reducing it to 25th. Maybe someone who knows rhe issues of that process could enlighten us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
