Bennyg Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Looks like Tamiya is releasing a 1/24 240ZG Street Custom. I half expected the brand new 2022 Z. Cheers Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Ben Kinda sorta, but not really. Notice the price is 17,380¥ which is roughly $165.00US. This one of those already "pro built" models that Tamiya sells. They're doing this, a Maroon ZG, and two different color McLaren Sennas this summer. As of yet whatever the differences are between a ZG and a Street Custom (beyond the Watanabes and probably a P/E Strut Brace and turned metal Intake trumpets) are not being offered as an unassembled model kit.

Top Gear at its best was never above loosening a bolt here and there to get the laugh. The first couple of seasons were all about the facts and they're almost painful to watch now.

Chuck Kourouklis Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Oh, Tamiya-San, there really needs to be a new Z. Now that Corvettes and Mustangs have gotten truly interesting, there's none of them in plastic. PLEASE don't be as dense as the USDM with your national treasure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while you're at it, could we NOT skip this generation of Super GT cars in plastic? The current Super GT Supras, NSX's, and now the new 400Z's are really amazing looking racing cars with genuinely compelling liveries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Brown Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I’d love to see more GT3 kits. A Huracan, NSX, and 488 would look great next to Nunu’s M6, R8s, and upcoming 911. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niteowl7710 Posted June 27, 2022 Author Share Posted June 27, 2022 For anyone who's been waiting on these kits, Hasegawa has released the new tool '73 Skyline GT-R, as well as modified reissue MR-2 and Isuzu 117 over the past several days in Japan. One side effect of the various monetary ills that are plaguing the system is our currency is super strong against the Yen, which is making the releases cost LESS than $20 before shipping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
