Best selling Datsun pick up in America - the 510. Five foot bed and 10 = 2 wheel drive. The 720 has a 7 foot bed and 20 = 4 wheel drive. The sedans and wagons' codes meant something completely different. This build is a pretty cool rendition of this timeless truck. BTW, in 1971 my dad bought the 1200 cc engine Datsun pick up. He put an 8 foot full camper in the "modified" bed (done with a cutting totch) and put 2 extra batteries on the front bumper to keep from doing wheelies.
I built this kit about 3 years ago during COVID when I was out of work temporarily. I built the last issued Aoshima kit with the blue truck for the box art. It had different wheels. More like a Dayton wire wheel (it has gold spokes). I painted the truck metallic black and added gold pinstriping decals. It went together quite nicely.
Another fun video, Chris. Always look forward to Wednesdays and Saturdays for another model video. I noticed another You Tuber who seemed to be taking pot shots of your videos. Seems strange to go out of his way to make a video just to take cheap shots. Fine if he doesn't like your videos but he didn't have to post a video. I love your videos just the way they are. Keep up the good work.
HUGE HAPPY n BLESSED THANKSGIVING 🦃 To You and ALL Your's Chris 🙏🙏. AWESOME Final W This Kit Too🏆🏆🏆🏆 . I've Got 1 In The Stash ( Somewhere ) I've Never Opened Yet and Didn't KNOW About The Xtra Goodies. Thanks For Sharing n GBA 🤗 Gary.
Color scheme looks amazing and those decals make it pop! I haven't seen this type of truck on the road for a while; i think it was the one they had in production when they made the name change from Datsun to Nissan in the early 1980s. Does Aoshima do a lifted 4 x 4 version of this like they do for the Hilux?
I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving i am not to fond of the truck but i do like some of the parts would use the kit for that and the aftermarket dacals are really nice thanks for another great video love the paint scheme and the cool weathering effects have a good one looking forward to another video
Hello 👋 there again, I just wanted to let you know about a little trick I have seen 👀 that might be handy for you. Whenever you open up a box and find tires with raised letters that are not painted white there's a trick for that solution. Get a piece of white paper 📜🗞️ and spray paint it lightly with the white paint or brush 🪥🖌️ it on then carefully dab the letters on your side of the tire into the wet white paint 🎨 then bamm you should have tires with white wall letters neatly done ✅ let me know if it works for you. Please 🙏 keep the videos 🎥 coming and happy holidays to you also. Sincerely, Robert JD Fraser
That truck is the BOMB! Thank you Sir!
It's wednesday, I'm happy 🤗
Happy Thanksgiving. Have a great day and weekend.
Very nice looking build. Great use of your creativity. Thanks for sharing.

IIRC, the hole in the bed with the cover, is for people that do that to a pick up to show up the suspension to peeps at shows. Really cool build.
👍👍
I really like the paint job. As usual, you knock it of the park again Chris.
Got to get this
Pretty nice build. Like the decals you chose. Wondered about the tape, till you explained. Nice idea on the surf board.

What glue do you use on your models when putting them together?

It happens now and then.
I don't pay attention to it, I just keep enjoying my kits my way.
Who is the jerk that does this??

Like the videos and the kits, you always do great work on them. Keep it up!!!
Very cool extras! I notice there was a different issue with the surfboard and another with the hard shell. Might grab one!
Surfs Pumping!

Nice build! Trivia... antenna on drivers side so can reach out to adjust it.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Very nicely done on that Datsun Chris! Love all the custom coloring and work that was done on it! Happy Thanksgiving!
I know you hated it, but would love to see pics of your original paint scheme.

Happy Thanksgiving Chriss.
How do the your decals come off the backing paper so effortlessly, I soak mine and they still fight me all the way.
Does anybody else hear FarCry5 music @ about the 10:00 mark?
Maybe it's just me 🤷♂️
Close. He uses this song alot
Gostei da montagem, mas a pintura e os decais, acho que não combinou em nada. Ficou uma confusão. Mas parabéns pelo canal.
Would you make me one if I paid you of my truck?
Curbside kits are pointless
Not for you then, is it? 🤷♂️
