Mixalz Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Hi everyone, Finally finished up this model tonight. Had quite a few dramas with the kit quality and then stuff ups on my behalf but the result is OK I think. Definitely fun to try new things (automotive paint and drilling rivet spaces in this case) WIP Thread:
Davewilly Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Very nice looking Z You did a fantastic job with it!
espo Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Very clean looking build, great fit and finish. I like that you used the fender flairs and spoiler. Paint looks great also.
FabbricaP Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Looks like you worked out all the kit difficulties - awesome build. The two tone color choice and finish are great. Thanks for sharing.
Dann Tier Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Outstanding in every way!!! -love the colors!!
Dodge Driver Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Excellent job! I could see right away that your 240Z would be a good one.
Dave Ambrose Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Oh yeah! Nice Fairlady! I thought the Fairladies were the previous models; 1600 and 2000?That's a very nice looking Z. Z-cars are classics, and will still look good 100 years from now.
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) I thought the Fairladies were the previous models; 1600 and 2000? That's a very nice looking Z. Z-cars are classics, and will still look good 100 years from now. The earlier cars were indeed called "Fairlady", but the JDM (Japanese domestic market) Z-car was known as the "Nissan Fairlady Z". Beautiful model, perfect color. I've always longed for a longnose with flares just like yours. Edited October 5, 2017 by Ace-Garageguy
aurfalien Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Hi,I really like what you've done. Great execution for sure, and on a cool subject mater.
Roger U Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 I had a '71 240Z and have always thought it was a great looking car and it was a lot of fun to drive. Your model is beautiful, especially with the rear spoiler and fender flares.
E. Raza Ronny Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 THis is such a terrific build. Lovely color choice and such a smooth, impeccable finish. I love these cars. Have two models on my own. Didn't know the badges looked like that.Cars aren't bad at all, but getting the base to slide in is such a pain. I cut off multiple point so i didn't have to flex the body to get the chassis to roll beneath. Still ended up chipping some paint along the edges.Dammit, can't find a single other full image of mine.

Mixalz Posted October 11, 2017 Author Posted October 11, 2017 Niceee. Love the blue was so torn between dark blue or the brown. I'm keen to do another one now that I've learned.
