Tamiya 300ZX on it's Wheels!

[RDean58]

Got an opportunity to shoot some new pics of this model yesterday afternoon. Here they are.

This is actually a repaint. I had done a flip-flop blue-purple but didn't like the way it turned out. I thought the body was toast and even bought another kit to replace this one. Then I plopped it in the drink and hoped for the best.

In this picture you can see the remanents of the stripping job. I'm hoping that when I do the flat black trim on the headlights and around the engine compartment that the bad sections won't be as noticeable.

A somewhat colorful undercarrage. Flat aluminium gas tank, Testors buffing aluminium plate for the engine and rear axle, Krylon Ultra Chrome for the exhaust, Krylon Ultra gold for the front & rear suspension control arms, Tamiya Titanium Gold for the upper rear control arms, and Tamiya Metallic gray for the rear stablizer bar.

"Glam" shot.

This morning I finished the interior, Tamiya Semi glose black door panels, seats, & dash with charcoal flocking. I don't have a picture of the interior to show you, sorry.

Next is to do the final detailing on the body and final assembly, Maybe by next week sometime I'll have number 16 done!

Thanks for looking!

That is a really nice 300 you've got going there. What color is that?

It's Tamiya TS52 Candy Lime Green. I can't remember what I shot it over, maybe flat white.
