DDA 1/24 1971-1974 Holden Kingswood

The HQ series of 1971-1974 was a completely new design, introducing larger capacity 173-cubic-inch (2.85 L) and 202-cubic-inch (3.3 L) six-cylinder engines, with the continued availability of 253-cubic-inch (4.2 L), 308-cubic-inch (5.0 L) Holden and 350-cubic-inch (5.7 L) Chevrolet V8 engines. The HQ was the most radically engineered Holden since the introduction of the original 48-215 model of 23 years prior. It featured a perimeter frame and semi-monocoque (unibody) construction, and was the first full-size Holden to have coil spring rear suspension. HQ became Holden's most popular car, selling 485,650 units. To put that into some perspective, Australia's total population in the early 70s was around 13 million. I wonder if there has ever been a higher per capita sale number for any car? Various HQ variations were introduced, the 2 door Monaro, Sandman van, upmarket Statesman, a station wagon and work utes and vans. This DDA model is the mid range, and ever popular Kingswood. DDAs replication is spot on. Proportions and detail are excellent.
