this is an old build of Monograms Miller Datsun 4x4 off-road racer kit. pretty much just an OOB build with exception to the wheels and tires which are Monogram Street Rat slotted mags in Satco Bridgestones. it would be cool to find another one of these to build again or the rarely seen King Cab kit. if i had it to do again i'd either trim back the fender flares or remove them completely. the rollbar needs to be moved forward as well.

Jeff, the attache case is a resin piece i bought a long time ago in the old school hobby shop we used to have. there was a whole bag full of different kinds meant for 1/35 scale military models.
i miss having that kind of hobby shop to go to.
this is one of the few models that survived from my childhood. i found it in a box and was able to fix some broken pieces and save it. thankfully i had never painted it! i built the later yellow box art re-issue and painted it red and put some Centerlines in the kit supplied tires. that build was pretty nice too but i have no idea what happened to it, wish i could remember!
Dave
