datsun 510

[jdmfan]

I finished this datsun 510 up last night . This kit was a pain to build. Probabaly one of the worst kits ive worked with not much of the kit fit well . windows where in rough shape as you can see. Considering what it was it came out well i guess minus the windsheild .Ii scratch built the throtle bodies and wired up th motor and battery. I also did a tail light swap the tail lights that where in the kit where molded to the rear and you had to paint them on witch i thought would look crappy . So i took some tails from a 68 camaro and cut off one lense and molded them in.

let me know what you think

sorry if the pics are crappy they were taken from my iphone . somethings wrong with my digital camera

[Chris guthro]

very cool!! i want a 620 pickup!

[Erik Smith]

Very cool.

That kit is pretty nice - although can have some issues. It is pretty amazing detail, though, when you consider all the other kits made in the early 1970s.

I think you did a fine job on building an older kit. I wasn't aware there were fit problems. (never built it).

[hotrod59f100]

I think you did a great job. I really want one of these to add to my Jdm collection.

Very nice, I like it alot, love the color. Been trying to get my hands on one of these kits, not very easy

[jbwelda]

that looks great; i especially like the motor and engine compartment.

is that the pete brock revell kit?

[LAone]

it looks pretty cool. i agree with you on the fitment, it's bad. especially the windows. your window went on better than mind did.

[RodneyBad]

WOW!!

Awesome looking 510.

Love it..

[ShawnS]

Very cool. I love those big intake trumpets on the engine. I think the whole engine bay is detailed just right, not too much not too little.

[Dyno Davo]

Great build of a classic car

[LAone]

by the way, any pics of the rear??

[espo]

Looks real nice. I have wanted to build one myself. The engine detail is outstanding.

[Pete Aron]

Wow that engine looks amazing!! Great color too.

[antonesv]

Looks great. What type of wheels are they?

[Harry P.]

I don't know what issues you had with that kit, never have seen the kit myself... but I'd say, judging from the photos, that you did just fine!

[randx0]

[kingtoy]

I really love these cars. I think they have the best proportions - and the racing heritage is pretty cool, too.

Nice build
