Well since the unfortunete demise of my Tamiya R33 GTR, I took a week off to collect my thoughts and during that time recieved a new set of brakes for my Tamiya 350Z, a project which I had started about 5 years ago but only really completed the body, some of the chassis and primed most of the other parts so here are some pics and will continue to update here as things progress:grinyes:

The body and chassis together the color is Tamiya British racing Green, I know an unusual choice for a Nissan, however one of my favorite color and one that always represents Sports Car to me which is what the 350Z is all about

Some shots of the body painted, clear coated and now with some minor blemishes removed....next comes rubbing compound and wax:rolleyes:

The chassis everything molded in place which makes for super easy contruction but hard time painting:screwy: About 70% was masked and sprayed the other 30% painted by brush which came out well and small mistakes give it a "weathered" look.....

Very nice and smooth paintjob. Keep it up.

Wow! the BRG looks great!!

What rims would you put on it?

I'm really diggin' the color.

this green is bad for fairlady i think,and rims?

Rims and everything else will be stock, not to big into modification of cars and don't have or know of any scale rims not easy to get in my area:iceslolan
