Really? That sucks, I think the bolts/rivets are what add to the realism. Can you post a pic of your model? Maybe it's the difference between having the G-Nose front and not having it?
Got some new progress. I redid the paintjob as I was not completely satisfied with the previous one. It's cleared and partially polished in some areas. I have begun to do the window trim in BMF and have found the missing wheel/suspension pieces:
I pulled out the original box (which coincidently was at the very bottom, very corner of the garage surrounded by many many other boxes) and found the OEM hubcap wheel assemblies inside. The kit came with these and a set of watanabes but only one set of tires (made for the OEM hubcap wheels). I think the tires on there right now are from some old club lineas (first accessory wheels I ever bought back in 1997) but I was considering using the OEM wheels since this is turning into a box stock build. It might look cool with the other 240Z since that one is sitting on some skinny stock wheels:
Since it's hard to see the wheels because they're not painted, I searched on line for a pic of the real car with the real wheels and came across this:
Man now that I know Hasegawa offers the same kit, I'm going to be on the look out for that one LOL.
Another option (which I'm strongly leaning on) is using a set of Hayashi Street wheels. I love the look of the Watanabes on there but you've got to admit that it gets rather common since the majority of all old school Fujimi kits came with them (the ones included with the model aren't the rod/screw on type, they actually have a polycap):
I also have a set of Long Champ XR4 wheels I could use but I'm reluctant to because they aren't staggered RWD style. Any other suggestions would definitely be considered as far as wheels and any/all constructive criticism would be appreciated.
