Looking good, nice paint job. Always liked the 300Z.

and i used some arbitrary (right word ?) color from local car shop , i just asked beautiful red paint , thats what i got :icon16:

Nice start. You're good at this. Keep it up.

Nice paintjob! I hope the rest of the model turns out that well =)

As you can see , i made new muffler tips , old were bulls*it
There are multiple faults too , hope you like it though

wow. factory fresh. nice job! :D

Looks good. Nice kit. I’m building one as well as my first model :D but I’m adding some custom bits to it. Anyway, I love the paint. Very clean finish.
