Post pics of the two bodies side by side. Who makes the non ABC body? Are more of those available?

I hear you guys. I somehow "motivated" my Suda to go back through the warehouse and look. It may have something to do w/ the pictures of car #48 etc

I'll share the love - don't worry. If the CA folks can come up w/ the blank bodies, I may be able to supply the instructions and decals.

Of course, that will kill the "collector" market for these but - meh.

Cheers

Sorry - I'm stalled out rebuilding some Solex carbs but will get back to the roadster model soon. I want to measure the wheelbase on the body and see what would be a good chassis for it.

Cheers

Take your time on the carbs...

There is a guy on Kijiji in Edmonton selling the 510 model for $500. Sounds like it is a built car... I didn't follow up because I don't need one. Although, that criteria doesn't always apply to my purchase decisions... Search Datsun RC if you are interested...

$500!! You can get a NICE Datsun 510 model for $200.

Ofna JL12e "Ready to Run" on Ebay for $147
ABC Hobby body for $50

Cheers

Clearly, he may be holding onto it for some time...

I just ordered some vinyl decal paper - and will try to make some good reproductions of the OEM decals and window masks.

What do you guys think about applying a BRE livery to the Roadster body? I can use the decals I have from the BRE 510 or 240Z - just need some good pictures of the BRE Roadster so I know how to paint it.

Cheers

I have the Z decals as well. I was thinking about painting BRE style....but then I decided I will paint to match my car or my car's future color.

I did watch a video on how to make your own decals, which is better than my previous idea of making my own stickers on clear sticky paper, but I have not attempted it yet.
