Basic instructions with only 8 steps

Image

Parts consists of one sprue with clear parts and the body plus the tyres. The parts have flash over it

Also included was this tiny decal and it's in good register

For the body colour I would like to paint it either silver or blue. Has anyone build this kit or own this car share some light on this build as this will be my first classic car kit any information about this car would be grateful

Thank you all for the support. Look what I've just found when I was surfing the net about the fairlady. So now I will be painting grey or blue if I can get the correct mixture

In my research for the right color, i found that Datsun still has the old colors available as touch up paints in bottle or aerosol form!

Good Luck! I hope that might help!
