1972 Nissan 240ZG (Tamiya 1/24)

[Rattlecan Dan]

I agree with all the accolades. Probably the nicest 240 I've seen.

Always liked that body style. You did a fabulous job on this kit. That paint job is flawless, to say nothing about the awesome details.

Chang...Chang....Chang...unreal my friend. Been waiting for the finished product and you did not disappoint. Your color choice for the body was right on the money and the tires bring this thing to life. I want to open the door and get inside. You are a true inspiration to me, and probably all of us. Great work! - Zack

Appreciate the compliment! Yes sidewalls are important - I hate seeing these cars sitting on low profile tires!

Beautiful model. Stunning build. And and a flat-out, super-cool Z. Man, that thing looks good!! And oh, that lovely finish. Ticks all the boxes. Excellent work.

I highly recommend this kit - they do know how to engineer an excellent kit!

Chang, that is the most beautiful Fairlady build I've ever seen. And your photography is incredible. I will be using your post as inspiration for when I build my kit of this car. Thank you for posting!

Thank you! If you have any questions lmk!

That’s a beautifully detailed build—the addition of the Weber carbs and intake manifold really sells the period-correct performance vibe. The time you put into the paint and fitment shows, especially with how clean everything came together.

Appreciate the kind words! Good that Tamiya now makes a version with most of those mods included now

Excellent work, Chang! That paint job is a thing of beauty.

Thank you!

Beautiful paint finish and color. Understandable with your description of how you prepared the finish. The contrasting interior color compliments the body color. Engine detailing is very realistic looking. Like the wheels and tires, especially the way you painted them. 

I used to hear body shop guys saying "it's all in the prep" and now I know!

Beautiful work Chang…it’s very realistic!  I live in Japan and see this style of Z often, your model captures the look and feel of these JDM classics perfectly.  Very well done 😎

Glad to hear that - I don't think I've ever seen actual ZG with its iconic nose shape, in person.

Thanks. Tamiya body is very sharp and I almost burned through some edges and had to touch it up afterwards! 

[Ulbo]

Wow Waw... unbelievable... perfect... Great Model, Paint Job, detailing... just speachless... Perfect Build👍

[nickfzr61]

I was looking forward to this from when you posted in the WIP section. Another stunning build. Thanks for sharing and inspiring. 

[titino]

A beauty, excellent paint and finish, it looks really good, you could almost say it's a real car. Congratulations Chang.

[Spottedlaurel]

That's a stunner Chang, fantastic work really doing this kit justice.
