[Roadsters] Vintage Datsun grill badge

[Gary McCormick]

Though I own a high-windshield model ('70 2000), I agree that the
low-windshield 311 is the most representative.

The model in the image would not matter to me.  I would say a low windshield
would be better, but the scale is so small, any nice roadster would be
awesome.

Do you mean 1500 vs 1600/2000? Low windshield vs high windshield? The
nomenclature doesn't carry a visual impact, because the name "Fairlady" was
only used in Japan, and cars of the same year are visually identical save for
badging and steering wheel placement. At the scale we're talking about here,
the visual differences btwn the early and late cars is minor, though maybe low
vs high windshield would make a difference.

I agree - simple works but, should it be Roadster or Fairlady?
