Trying to get at least one more in before the end of the year - Tamiya Datsun/Nissan 280ZX, circa '79

Picked this little gem up from eBay some years ago.  Vintage Tamiya kit, very representative of the era, with motorization option.  Interestingly, this kit does include a decent semblance of an engine, if you cut the hood out.  Not sure I'll go that route at this point.

So far: Tamiya Lacquer, Tamiya panel line accent (possibly overdone!) and Alclad II chrome ...

Nice body colour!

Lil' update.  Got (most?) of the black trim completed.   Still need to do the lights and emblems.

Looking at it here, it looks a little dirty.  So, I'm going for a daily driven, but aging car.   Yeah, that's my story.

Welp, I didn't finish before the new year, so - it's the first build of the new year!
