Datsun 510 slot car in 1/32

[dreinecke]

I just completed these two. The body and casting are my own making.



During my formative years, I was fortunate to get to see some of the world, and grew up in Germany. A nice GI with no kids lived in the apartment above us with his wife. While I owned Aurora T-Jets, my first encounter with the newer AFX cars and track was racing on the wood floor at his place. When the time came for he and his wife to move elsewhere, he gave me his entire set along with a dozen or so AFX cars. Two of those cars led to today; the Red/White/Blue Datsun 510, and the yellow Datsun 620 pickup. I loved the looks of these two cars, and through my HO years I probably raced them together over a billion scale miles.



I've enjoyed lurking on the board, and thought I'd share these with you. I hope you enjoyed them.

Wow, those look good! Layout looks nice too. I have those same Aurora AF/X Datusns, the 510s and the Pickup, loved them as a kid (and now ), cool to see a larger scale! Would love to see a vid of that pickup pulling the trailer, haha.
