Anybody Have Fairlady 240ZG Safari Pics?

Hi folks,

I have just bought the Tamiya 1/12 Fairlady 240ZG Safari (TAM12008) (http://www.hlj.com/product/TAM12008) and was wondering if any of you rally fans have any detail pics or know of any decent sites where I might find some interior or engine images. Google didn't really help very much!

Also, were any detail parts ever available for this kit?

Thanks for any help.

Richie

Thanks a lot: You just cost me another 80 bucks....

Do you know if that's a limited edition release? IE should I buy it ASAP or can I wait like a month maybe?

Hi mate,

I'm really not sure if it is limited or not, somebody here may know more.
I wasn't really looking at buying anything but when I saw it, I thought what the hell, do it.

Still not finding much in the way of referance material though.

I can't help you fnd any rtef: pictures, but I'm been looking around the hlj.com website, and they have some re-issues of Tamiya 1:12 kits.. I'm saving up really fast for the MP4/6 1:12... I have to have that kit..!!

I have the Reinhard Klien book Rally here someplace. I looked but there isn't much in there, mostly B&W exterior shots.

SteveK2003 - That's just about all that I have been able to find as well so I'm going to have to use a lot of 'artistic license' in some areas, or maybe use pics of the road cars engine bay for a few ideas.

Well, it arrived over the weekend along with a few other goodies. I didn't really appreciate just how big the box was going to be!

There are an unbelievable amount of parts, 7 for each suspension strut alone. Detail looks very good particularly with the engine, however each piece looks like it will require a certain amount of cleaning up, some flash, mold lines etc but it looks very promising if not a little scary!!

All in all I am very impressed and look forward to making a start, although after a long summer of excessive overtime at work I am a little behind on a couple of other projects that I may complete first including the Lancer WRC and Williams that have been on hold for a LONG time:-

STILL LOOKING FOR PICS THOUGH IF ANYBODY COMES ACROSS ANY.......

That Safari kit looks so nice. I am tempted to get one and convert it to a street 240z.

For pics you can try http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/

I've seem a few pics of the safari car on there. You need to register for the site.

Look here http://www.z-point.nl/

This shoul be reissue so it should last for some time because it is on official Tamiya site. I bet Acustion will make some goodies for it very soon.

Thanks for the links guys, found a couple of pics that may be handy.

Acustion - I hope so!!!!

Hey tturbozx66 - no need for a conversion job. Look at this:
