WIP Veilside Nissan Fairlady Z32

To the UK boys it's the Nissan 300ZX.

Anyhow, to my suprise the Z32 turned up this morning. And with waiting on a few more items on the R34, I thought i'd make a start on this.

This is from Fujimi, btw

Everything is molded in a creamy of white colour. I had originally decide to paint this matt orange, similar to lechef's 300c, but have reconsidered. I will be using Seat Memory Red on this one, which is the colours from my dad's Seat Alambara.

I'd heard many bad things about the Fujimi kits with resin body kits. Like on the Porsche 964 Turbo or the SW20 MR-2. With the kits not fitting correctly. It seems that the parts i've offered up the the body will fit with little or no modification.

Just about to start removing the factory bumpers.

Will have more progress pics up later.

This is a can of worms! be prepared for a big job, Im still working on my Veilside MR2, nothing fits but with a bit of patience and attention to detail it will turn out great. The resin pieces for this kit will be too large for the kit especially the front end. best solution is to cut it right in the middle trim and sand it down to size. Anyway best of luck with this project, as long as you take ur time you will be right.

gonna be a loooong time before finish acording to what sneeky said
good luck!

Looks like an interesting kit! Can't wait to see it finished :D

Progress pics

Made a significant amount of progress on this.

Interior and chassis is damn near complete.

Body is primed, but still need to sort out a few little niggles.

Well pleased with it. Its a deep metallic red.

Looks like you have done a great job fixing the mismatched resin parts. Keep up the good work!

Love the colour! looks like you tackled these resin fit issues very well
Keep it up
