Thx for the comments. Except the exterior will be Tamiya's Camel Yellow with red flame and gold dragon decals - look at the very first post, it's all there.

You look at interior like that, and wonder why even try. Great job, that looks so real!

With all of the interior done, I have nothing else to do until I got the body kit...the only thing I will do today (if I don't receive the kit) is to paint the window borders black.

I got a question about the body kit (see 1st post for pic). What do I use to cut the original parts out and what do I use to attach the new ones? Cement, super glue or something else? I don't have any putty and won't buy any...so that's not an option.

Seems like my order from eHobbies hasn't shipped yet!!! I've placed the order on Nov 26...they suck. It's the camel yellow paint, sanding paper, polishing compound and something else... I don't recommend ordering from them, this is the second time they are taking over 8 days to ship.

Thanks for all the comments - I'm glad you like it. My decals have been mailed this morning via priority, should get em Mon or Tue the latest.

Got the wing today, not the best quality but it'll work when I polish and paint it.

Also, painted the glass - the hardest part for me. When I took off all the masking tape after spray=painting, there were about 14 places where the pain leaked and it tool me 40 min to get most of it cleaned out, scratching the plastic while doing it. I can never get it to work for some reason...

Here are a few pics which the body and the glass 'on' (not glued, so it's loose). The rims are my fav part so far...

The car looks great in the mock-up you have, which makes me think that perhaps it doesn't need the SAS bodykit, the wing, or the decals. The Camel Yellow paintjob, I'd think, would top off the car as is very nicely.

Less is more, some great person said a long time ago.

Re: -=And so it begins: 350Z streetDRAGON=-

I think it needs a lil lowering, about 1-2'' scale drop and it'll go nicely, but maybe with the kit you wont need it.
