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. :smokin:

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

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. :smokin:

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... :frown:

The model looks awesome... I just love the colour and rims... and hell the whole damn thing.

I beleive they are hoppin hydros, and I have a bunch of them, and the amps. If you want some amps, subs, or batteries, then just send me a PM.

Thanks! Actually, I did everything in the period of a week and a half. :biggrin:
I knew pretty much what I was going to do, so when I finally had the body kit, I started. I didn't want to be w/o a new Z at our show! :iceslolan

PERFECT. Is it just me or is the rear wing in a litle weird angle... Just put the amps in the gap between the seats and the trunk.
