In progress - 1/24 Nissan 350Z

Tamiya 1/24 Nissan 350Z in Silverstone color

I just painted the body with gunmetal Tamiya acrylic paint - yes acrylic paint from the bottles - which is a great match for Nissan Silverstone. Because it's a metallic color, the shine isn't very good. I'm just waiting for another few days for the paint to fully dry before I hit it with some Tamiya TS-13 Lacquer clearcoat. Kinda dangerous to use Lacquer on acrylic, but I think it's worth the risk...

It will be basically box stock except for:

-Bronze colored 19' Volk CE28 Wheels
-BIG Brembo crossdrilled and slotted disc brakes on at all 4 corners (takes about 15mins to fully drill out all the holes with a pinvise)
-Maybe some sponsor logos (*big maybe, dont want to rice it out)

*sorry about the pics, they're a bit blurry
