Completed Project Pics: 350Z

Hi everyone,

Here are some pictures of one of my latest completions. It was extremely easy to put together. Probably the easiest model i ever laid paint on. It was such a needed relief from the monster of a project i undertook in making the F&F Supra. That is also coming along. but anyways, here she is. hope you like it. thanks

Great looking job the kit.
Just a question....does it ask for the car to be painted any other colour as 99% of the ones i have seen are silver.

Wow! thats an amazing body kit! Your work never ceases to amaze me. Great job!

As for the silver paint being laid on 99.9% of all 350Z's tamiya has made, i can anly assume that its because the car looks great in that color. im not a fan of it in that orange shade and i dont think it wears red or black as nicely as the silver. I fell in love with the car when i saw it in silver. so in respect for that inspiration, i recreated one of my dream cars.

same here:D

nice looking z you got there. i agree with you on the silver part. i didnt like the car when i first seen it cause it was that orangish color, but when i seen it in silver, i fell in love.

flyonthewall - your kits are awesome man. i'm jealous.

That 350Z looks amazing. I'd really like to get that, but I want so many that I have to pick and choose and not spend so much money. It does look best in silver, but maybe cuz that color is shown so much?

Fly, that is looking superb! let me guess...is it going to be silver?:D Someone should make that body kit for the real 350Z. Just my opinion of course.

How does Tamiya TS-50 look on it.

No, but i chose the colour second popular after silver - GUNMETAL!!!:D

Here are a few cool Z's

Here's one that's one been converted to the C-West version like mine in a rather fetching shade of yellow.

can I just put my 10 cents in Fly.

think it would be wrong to paint it in Gunmetal grey as I feel it would not highlight the kit well enough. Possibly try a lighter color.

You may very well be right, good point. I will have a think about it, although i have already brought the colour - i may use it on something else.

the only colors I have seen that car in are silver

Fly, you may want to try "light gun metal" it's somewhere between gunmetal and chrome silver. bet it would look tight with gunmetal wheels as well but thats just my opinion.

Tazdev, the carpet is achieved by using flocking material. you can find it on a bunch of sites in tons of colors. modelcargarage.com has some. you basically paint the part that you want in a flat paint that is the same color as the flocking and before the paint dries, shake some of the flocking material onto the wet paint. i use a tea strainer to break up the big pieces so that the flocking material goes down evenly. then you just wait for it to dry and shake off the excess. i usually do it all on a big sheet of paper so that i can catch what was not used and use it again on another project. Hope that helps.
