1965 Datsun Pickup

My first truck in this scale. I wanted to go with something a bit smaller than the usual Ford or Ram, so I chose the Datsun 520.

 

Build: My options were this and the GMC Cyclone, and I chose this due to its "work-truck" look. This was one of my most challenging builds so far, despite how simple it looks. It took around 2 weeks of work, but I think it was well worth it!

 

Specs: Being scaled down to 1/43, it measures 12 long, 5 1x1 plates high, and 5 studs across.

 

Reason: After doing mostly Super and Sport cars for quite a few months, I wanted to add some more everyday cars to my collection. Hopefully, this is just the first of many to come!

 

Thanks for looking!
