aussie_modler Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Hi all, I started my next build, which is the Hasegawa Fairlady 240zg. This is a curbside kit and thus will be built like one. I didn't want to go to over the top or try anything new and different (for me), so I went with a very mildly modified interior. The seats will be black leather, the rear parcel carpet is from an old mouse (pc) bag that I pulled apart. The body has about 6 coats of Tamiya x-13 Metallic Blue and 3 or 4 coats of TS-13 Clear with no polishing. I still have the body kit to paint. The window trim was masked and painted after the clear with Tamiya Flat Black. Thanks for looking, comments, tips and critique welcome.

ferrariscale Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Body color turned out sweet. What are you using for polish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussie_modler Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Body color turned out sweet. What are you using for polish?Thanks, I'm real happy with it. When we get better sunlight in Brissie I'll get some better outdoor shots. I don't know if I will polish, I'm happy how it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there is a hilux I can get, but the ol' 2.8d isn't really up to towing a trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
