Blast From the Past... Another 1992 Nissan Pathfinder

[Chuck Most]

This was built from the American Satco kit in 2014. The one finished recently inspired me to dig it out and take photos.

It is lifted, has a solid front axle conversion, and Mickey Thompson tires from the Revell Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. The paint is Duplicolor Grabber Green, and the mud is airbrushed Tamiya Flat Earth. I was going for a "just blasted down a wet dirt road" look. It was definitely one of the first models I weathered in this fashion, if not the actual first.

The wheel arches were also radiused, but seeing as how I built this a decade ago I'm certain I'm forgetting a few things.

Nice build!

Great looking mud splatter and the rear window wiper mark is a nice touch. Playing in the mud can be fun until it's time to clean up.

Cool.

Very cool effect! Love the build.

Really nice weathering on your build there Chuck but rather than mud splatter it looks alot like the effect of a long drive on a dirt road. Here in rural Australia it is not uncommon to see this effect, especially in remote areas where roads are rarely paved. Really well done on a fine build.

Think you achieved exactly the effect you were looking for. Looks great. Nice job!
