Dennis, what was wrong with the body? *NM*
In Response To:
The Revell kit is fairly terrible, body was so bad I had to make more mods than I wanted, so it almost doesn't even look like a 510 anymore, but close enough. I used round tail lights and scratch built rear body work. A lot of scratching, but I do love that kind of modeling! *NM* *PIC*

Isn't there a JDM of that bodystyle that could serve? Such an iconic Japanese sedan, a friend had one that was indestructible *NM*
Hasegawa did a kit of a Datsun Bluebird sedan (what Datsun called the 510 in Japan. Several versions over the last 30 years, inculding arally car and a MOONEYES version.
Here in Oz it was called the Datsun 1600, we only got the 4dr, Wagon & a few Utes, the Hasegawa kit of the 4dr was popular. *NM*

I had 2 and both were terribly non symetrical. Rear side window trim around mostly the passenger side and rear was so bad I simply cut it all out and made my own, that's why the round tail lights and open trunk! Well I was going to open the trunk anyway. *PIC*
Hmm, that's interesting, I have at least one original kit and a reissue or two. I'll have to check them out. *NM*
Bob, look at what I did to the rear compared to the previous picture, totally replaced everything! *NM* *PIC*
Looks good! I will see you in Minnesota on Sunday too! *NM*
Dennis, I bought the BRE version way back when? The passenger side window framing was a mess! I put it back in the box. I may dig it out one of these days to salvage usable parts (maybe). *NM*
I looked at my original and reissued bodies and I see the window trim is not quite all there. Hmm, gonna have to do some research before I attempt to build them. *NM*
I hope to see that Sunday... Beautiful *NM*
Hey Frank, I won't be bringing that thing, but I will bring 4 new builds! So......see you Sunday! Message me if you want me to bring you any rare kit. Cheers, Dennis *NM*
