Toyota 2000GT and Datsun 240ZG, Hasegawa, 1/24
Two of Japan's finest ever sports cars, both products of their era, both designed by the same guy, Albrecht Goertz. The 2000GT was a Yamaha proposal which Nissan turned down, and Toyota didn't. The Z-car is Datsun through and through...
          What a lovely car, and what a great kit... bestest, M. |

Re: Toyota 2000GT and Datsun 240ZG, Hasegawa, 1/24
...and now the 240ZG
       It's not as beautiful a car as the 2000GT, but I like its style and even the colour. That front overhang is a bit much, but it does lend it a real "shark-like" look. Still, I wouldn't say no if I found one for sale! (and I'd better replace that rear offside wheel badge that's moved during the photo session. Rats!) bestest, M. |

Re: Toyota 2000GT and Datsun 240ZG, Hasegawa, 1/24
They may both be curbside, but I think these are fantastic kits by Hasegawa. I've previously built the Miura and the 250 Testa Rossa, and these two models have just confirmed Hasegawa's position as my personal #1 maker for car kits. They are precise fitting, well-engineered (not overcomplicated but as detailed as is needed, wherever it's needed), and really look like their full-size prototypes. Highly recommended.

Nice work on both of the cars, and they are beautys ! I do like the 240Z even more because of the different front design.
