RT6PK Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) My uncle bought a brand new 1975 280Z. I was only 5 at time, but I remember the car vividly. I decided to replicate it. Special to Nigel (Spottedlaurel) for hooking me up with the wheels. Edited January 1, 2022 by RT6PK 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainford Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Nice looking Datsun. Such a nice design. The Z really is a great looking car. Good looking model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Great to see those wheels being put to good use! I love the finished look of it, I can picture one in a USDM brochure in this colour. Although this Monogram kit is far from being the most accurate or detailed Z out there, I'm quite fond of it. I built mine as a modified car without bumpers, but seeing how this looks is making me rethink what to do with the version I still have.

It is not the most detailed, but it was right in my price range, (free). The paint is the factory color mixed up at a local auto body supply shop.

JJ Deuce Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 sharp build! reminds me of my aunt. she came home one day and told my uncle she'd seen a neat car, so he asked what it was. She replied she thought it was a Datsun "28 ounce." 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
