Re: GRAUPNER Rally Sport (Datsun)
Good find and good you've found a project to finish , what are the radio boxes made of , I can't tell from the pictures if they are lexan or ABS , if they are AbS then you could use a 3d pen to weld up the cracks , you'd have to sand it down flat afterwards but it would make a strong repair .
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

it's like ABS, but i'm not sure.
This is the next step
Sanding, primer, sanding, paint...

Re: GRAUPNER Rally Sport (the end is near) - Fairlady 240Z
hi everyone,
I pretty much advanced on what I wanted to do even if I made a big dumpling ...
So, I repainted the rims and it was the easiest, I continued the radio installation and rebuild the mecha esc, I drilled the radio box for the antenna wire , I "pimped" the vintage radio, I took pictures to shit as usual ...
I start by showing you the dumpling, namely a cutout for the passage of the motor cables in the cover of the radio box freshly repaired and repainted ... BIG DUMPLING because I made it 5mm next ... suddenly I l have left (I am an asshole).
In short, luck is that I redid two covers of radio boxes, the second will go on the chassis.

Otherwise, I therefore have "PIMPED" the radio with A2 stainless steel![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Very nice
I would be tempted to spray the hood / bonnet flat black.
Cool car.
