looking for a detailed 240z kit

[Corvette.Jeff]

since most of you guys have been doing this longer ive been alive, im looking for a extreme detail 240zl kit.

My dad had a 73' back in the 90's before he met my mom and i always wanted to build him a replica, and one all tricked out of course.

does anybody know what the best kit would be?

Thanks,Jeff

Revell has one, don't know what yr it is but they all look alike to me

Not sure if its all the revell 240s or just my kit. But the passenger side door and window needed to be rescribed heavily, do to washed out seams, big pain in the butt, enough for me to scrap the body!

What about AMTs Datsun?

thats a 280zx,those ran from 81' to 86(notsure) i used to have one, fun little cars, espescially when the turbo spoolex up

It's been a stalled Project since 1987

MPC 440 and a bad attempt at a tub job

I will third the Revell 240Z kit. It is supposed to represent the 71 version, as the bumpers changed in 1972 as well as the medallion behind the quarter window.

My suggestion; pick up the Revell kit and a copy of the Black Dragon parts catalog and start building a 1973 (Black Dragon is like the J.C Whitney catalog just for the 'Z' cars).

If you REALLY want to go for detail – though you'll need to add some of your own extras – the Tamiya 1/12 240ZG offers a big canvas.

The only problem is that it's right-hand drive.
