Building the Hasegawa 1/24 Scale Nissan BLUEBIRD (Datsun 510)

I changed the color of the car body from red to green because I got a request.

A truly iconic Japanese car - one of my neighbors had one when I was a very young child and the last time I recall seeing one in the wild was on my last visit to Puerto Rico in 2004 when there was one parked in front of a house close to the guest house where I was staying. It looked like it hadn't moved for a while but it still looked in good shape.

Correct color for the engine (bottom) is a light blue. Tamiya X-14 with a bit of light gray mixed in looks about right. Cutting-and-shutting the dash for left-hand drive isn't hard but could be easier if the plastic wasn't on the hard and brittle side. Filling the mounting slots for the fender mirrors if you want them on the door is a PITA though.

Thank you for your comments. Since this is an old car, it was difficult to collect reference photos, so I painted it according to the instructions. I will spend more time to collect the reference materials when I make the car in the future.

Very nice mode and a lovely little carl, I'm old enough to remember these when they were new on the streets. Always liked Datsun's.

Got the kit, only wished they made a wagon version. I had one of those.
