Tower Hobbies shows it available, yet everyone else says coming soon. https://www.towerhobbies.com/product/124-nissan-fairlady-240z-street-custom/TAM24367.html

Yes, I have tried every type of BMF made, this is just the last that I have, as I rarely use it since I mostly build race cars.

Honestly, it almost looks like they pulled this from a Die Cast toy, like they did the '68 Mustang

Oh wow, I was just writing when this popped up! LOL! I picked it up today at my LHS

Well, here is the Non Existent, not in production, they won't sell it to me, Tamiya Ultra Thin Aluminum Stickers. Here I am comparing it to the last piece of good Bare Metal Foil in my possession, Ultra Bright Chrome. I will try it later and and report my findings, or maybe I will just make something up, eh? The two sheets together are about 2/3 of the Bare Metal. So the value goes to BMF, but how does it work, well, I don't know yet.

1/24th

Like at the 1:56 mark on the video?

Whatever dude, it was there, he said it was entering the pipeline, so yeah, I guess it does not exist. https://www.ebay.com/itm/296405170697?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=296405170697&targetid=2295557531710&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9061200&poi=&campaignid=19851828444&mkgroupid=160536780385&rlsatarget=pla-2295557531710&abcId=9307249&merchantid=101683591&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0_WyBhDMARIsAL1Vz8ujdHTIOlBkoNwAyY5JJDcQQ_Gu08zayYn_jJeCM6-kp7sTU0BzSAkaAvZ0EALw_wcB https://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/tam/tam87226.htm?source=froogle&srsltid=AfmBOoourIe0q0gdFshbvePfeaDq-NusdJIJnYkLx_CdRcodKoBTDRCw8Fg

THEY DON'T SELL IT AT THEIR BOOTH!!! Just in case you didn't get what I wrote.

How about a Video?

I just remembered that it was used in the movie "It Started With A Kiss" with Glenn Ford and Debbie Reynolds! He apparently wins the car in a raffle!

Ok, it does exist. What is your point?

Got to look at it up close today, and it looks good. The sheet is a bit smaller than Bare Metal, and the price seems fair. Overall, I can't wait to try it. He did not have any for sale at the show, they never do.

Got a first hand look at the Z, and it is gorgeous! I asked about the front Valance, and the rep said there is more in the works.

The current Cha Cha Mustang FC is the same as the Mustang FC before, no changes, other than decal and tampo printed tires. But it is nice they corrected the Cha Cha car to a Mustang! LOL!

This line of cars where actually supposed to be Big Name Funny Cars, but, the contract with the racers and NHRA went away, so MPC just released them under made up schemes.

My local store here in CA has a spot for it, but no kits yet. So I guess they are coming.

Picked up a few kits for our upcoming IPMS EXPO on June 1st Hobby Lobby is having their 40% sale and I picked up a few things for the kit raffle. I was surprised they had the 71 Demon

I heard of someone currently trying it out with an engine out of a theft recovery GT-R, should be interesting to see how it fits.

A couple of guys around here have swapped in the VQ V6 out of the Nissan 350Z and 370Z cars, and they fit quite nicely. Good power and light weight, and keeps is all Nissan!

If it does not stick to anything, it is dead!

Yeah, i need to thin out my herd.

Well, I will wait until the Tamiya Stickers are on the shelf before I make any more judgements on it. Will it be better than bare metal foil? Who knows, we will just have to wait and try it. But I know this, all my bare metal foil is pretty dead. The shelf life on it is horrible and hopefully Tamiya has fixed that. Out local IPMS show is on the first of June, and Tamiya will have a booth there. Hopefully they have some on hand to take a look at it.

Well, considering that we originally started using Testors Silver, then graduated to Bare Metal Foil, and most now use Sharpie Silver Pens or Molotov Pens, this is a good option. And most, if not all, window trim was stainless steel, not chrome. And it does look shiny enough in that test pic. And given that it is Tamiya, the quality issues experienced with Bare Metal are most likely not there. I am sure Tamiya will eventually expand it to shinier material as time goes on.
