Hasegawa 1/24 Datsun Bluebird 1600 SSS - 1969 Safari Rally Tribute

This Hasegawa 1/24 model captures the Datsun Bluebird 1600 SSS that tackled the severe routes of the 1969 East African Safari Rally. The kit reflects the car's reputation for reliability under extreme conditions, offering a faithful miniature for those interested in classic rally subjects.

Rally legacy and modelling interest

The 1969 Safari Rally challenged vehicles with varied terrain and long distances, and the Bluebird's sturdy engineering stood out. Model builders appreciate this subject for its mix of clean lines and functional detail, which Hasegawa represents with accurate moulding and decal options.

Construction notes and presentation

Parts are engineered to provide clear assembly paths while retaining scale detail. Builders can achieve excellent display pieces by careful painting and decal work, making this kit a fine addition to a collection of historic rally cars.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/24
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
  • Decals: Included for authentic detailing
Intermediate builders will find the kit rewarding. It contains several small components that take care during trimming and gluing, but the fit is generally good with attention to alignment.
The kit is complete for a display model out of the box. Enthusiasts can add photo-etch parts or wiring for extra realism, but these are optional depending on the level of finish desired.
Apply decals over a smooth, glossy base coat to prevent silvering. Use decal setting solution and seal them with a clear varnish once fully dry for long-term durability.
