Tamiya´s old Nissan 300 ZX

Hello, I´m back again with an old Tamiya kit witch is actually rather good thus all it´s years behind. I have building some AFV´s (military) for some time now and now it´s time for a car again. Pic´s show my rim choice and the rear ones will be widened. http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/65198300_ZX_w_ch_rims.JPG

And here´s a pic of engine. Some detailwork and weathering left to do. http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/502/65198300_ZX_engine3-med.JPG

lookin good! :sunglasse

That is cool ! :smokin:

can you see the turbo's when the engine is fitted into the car?

Just a bit of it and alot underneath.

I have one of those one the way to completion, too. Just needs a few coats of ice blue nail polish and then final assembly.

I like your wheel choice. They definitely compliment this car. Hope yours goes together without a hitch, too.

I've always wondered why there weren't that many Z32's on the board compared to the number of 350Z's on the board.

I love the tamiya 300zx kits. Ive built the TT and convertible and
plan on building another convertible soon since I trashed my other
one. This ones coming along nicely. Rims go hand in hand.

Great progress.

Nice!

I've got a vert. project stalled on the bench. Inspire me!
:p

Ah, this is good to see. I have one of these kits that I've yet to tackle. I could do with some inspiration!
The wheels are a good choice ...exactly the sort you would actually see one of these cars. The engine's certainly come out very nice. :sunglasse

Not much for a picture but yet still an upgrade to this progress. She is painted black metallic (Automotive paint) and are begging for one more clear coat.

how did you paint the headers to look like that? That looks good!

I used a 50/50 ratiomix of Tamiya XF-56 and XF-64. Then some blackwash and a drybrush with XF-56. That´s it! I´m glad you´ve liked it.

Wow!
Looks good!

Awesome!!

like others said.. very nice!!!

one z32 comin from me s00n:D, nice job, inspirating it is

Man i love that sexy beast !!!
Want one............

Later, Mike. :smokin:

what are those rims from?

this may be a dumb question, but I've never had to deal with "blackwash" and "drybrush" before. Could you explain this more in detail? Thanks!

That looks great. I love the detail of the motor.
