Has Anyone Built the 1/12 Tamiya Datsun Safari

Hi, I was wondering if any of you have ever built his model and if so what you thought of it, as my dad is thinking of buying one, but as its an older model, I wasn't to sure that the fitment would be any good. From what I've seen on HLJ and 1999.co.jp, it looks brilliant.

I have one, fitment is excellent, it just begs for additional detail to be added though.

Eeek, I might not need any advice: HLJ wans $75 for the kit, but over $60 for the shipping.

No, me neither, I was at my LHS, when my dad saw the 1/12 F40, he just had to have it, and decided to buy it instead of the Datsun.

If you are the in USA, you can preorder it from www.greatmodels.com for $86. I think shipping is about $7.

Except I wouldn't recommend greatmodels.com, I've dealt with them twice and both times were bad experiences.
