Looks great. The rivets add a lot to the flares.

Have the same kit in progress for a friend of mine.

Thanks, happy that you like it too. Make sure to show yours aswell once it's finished!

What an amazing job you did, well done.

Thanks guys!

Exellent!!...What color did you use on the wheels?

That's a good looking Datsun. I've always liked the Datsun/Nissan Z cars. The engine detail is nice; I'm glad you chose to open up the hood and hatch.

Thanks to you too, Matthew! Yes, it was a lot of work but I'm happy with it now...

It's this one: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/939397-fujimi-039299-nissan-fairlady-240zg

But I would rather go for one of those kits with separate fender flares because this one has them molded to the body. And masking them (in case you want to go for a 2-color-scheme) is not as easy as one would think... which is why mine are painted in body color, too.

Personally, I would rather go for this kit now: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/322912-fujimi-038421-nissan-fairlady-z-432

However, that is the short "Z" version and not the longer "ZG" one.

Perfect!...Actually, what I'm looking for from this kit are the over fenders, wheels and tires...

I don't think so... That is one of the ZG versions (longer front part, glass covers on the headlights) and those kits have the fender flares molded to the body. See these images: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10243799

I would cut those molded in fenders, will use wheels and tires, plus maybe the engine...would be intended for a Tamiya Skyline GT-R 2000...

Not in my eyes. It's called gun metal and that's what it looks like to me.

Ok...I guess the one I'm looking for  is the Magnesium from AK Interactive...
