DW Never Was: DirTSUN 4x4

[plastimatic]

Next in the Deal's Wheels Never Was line: the DirTSUN 4X4!





The body is Revell's Datsun Off Road Pickup, cut up. WIP page
Driver is sculpy and resin.
Chassis is from a Maisto pull-back diecast toy, with the front wheels swapped for a pair from a Hot Wheels Monster Jam vehicle (and a spare).
Side pipes are Zzz28 donors. Wheel insets are an old set of VW hubcaps. Smiley lights are from the buttons bin. Shock springs are, of course, pen parts.



Bumper bars were augmented for extra protection.
License plate is custom

That really captures the Dave Deal look ! The paint looks like what Datsun could have offered back in the 80's too- Really nice job !!!

As to the paint, my gal said her parents owned a Datsun sedan that was about that color, so I complied
