StokeModels Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 This is my latest finished build, the new 1/24 Nissan Z kit from Tamiya. It's a fantastic kit in terms of engineering, lots of well fitting, separate parts that reduce the amount of masking required, particularly in the interior. I did mine as an homage to the 1971 East Africa Rally winning 240Z. Red with the black hood and I created my own modernized take on the original door number graphics. The wheels, tires and roof rack were custom design and 3D printed. I also did a suspension lift, the majority of which was handled with lifting the subframes off the chassis. The interior was built mostly out of the box with the only real modification being adding a clear piece of plastic over the gauges. All of the red pieces here are separate pieces that didn't require any masking. Thanks for looking. Martin. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
