Intmd8r Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Going to focus on body and paint on this one as the kit was originally designed as a battery operated toy. A great molded curbside kit. The body has only minor sink marks to address. Its perfect otherwise. The generic wheels are cartoon like, so I raided my parts box and found these newer Fujimi wheels that suit the body well.

mod3l Lover Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I love it Steve!! I traded Dan for a Z car myself, butI still have not done anything with it. That silver looks pretty good all by itself. David S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Yay! Glad to see this actually getting built! It would have continued to languish in my stash for years had I not sent it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intmd8r Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) Thanks guys – guess this build is the result of international efforts lol. Here’s where I’m at now – the color is called Maple Nut. It’s a cool color that closely resembles a Datsun OEM from the ‘70’s. This particular color is fairly transparent and needs a few more coats. Unfortunately for me, I knocked over the paint bottle and lost more than 2/3rds of the paint. Looks like this build will be stalled until more paint comes in… Edited April 25, 2017 by Intmd8r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin NJ Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Can't wait to see how it turns out when you're done building it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkychiken Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 This is a nice subject, and it's coming along nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarana-X Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 The body for this kit is very nice, but the chassis is rubbish. I've got the Touge version. It comes with a Pantera style hatchback, vented fenders and BBS mesh wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
