Thumbs up Finished...Tamiya/SAS Nismo 350Z

99.9% finished 350Z. Still want to add some detail behind the grille and a license plate. It's pretty much ready for our show this coming weekend.

See previous progress thread for more details, but in addition to the Tamiya emblems, I also used some Studio 27 photoetch for the model. Seat belts are craft ribbon tinted green w/artist's markers, and the belt hardware is from an old set of S&S Specialties photoetch. The second application of clear really set it off, and it polished out easily.








Sorry for the fuzzy interior pic...

Thumbs up

Dayum, You're fast! I like the whole scheme, as many Z's as we've seen, it looks quite unique.

Talking Thanks!

Thanks for the comments so far.

For Bah Humbug, the wheels/sleeves are by Pegasus, available online at their website (www.pegasushobbies.com) or in many hobby shops.

The woofers are either from Pegasus or Hoppin' Hydros...can't remember which, I tossed the box a long time ago. They're not permanently attached yet, so I can angle them forward. Also looking for a good amp to put in the luggage compartment as well.

Re: Thanks!

FnF Supra has 3 good amps that can go back there with those woofers.

Good call-I did try those amps over the weekend, they were too wide to fit in the Z's luggage compartment...
