NISMO Fairlady Z

Enjoy the pics, taken this morning





















Close ups:








Interior & Chassis:







Okay, initially started as 3 weeks fast built, but i fail, took me almost 11 months, minus the break in between i guess it should be around 2 1/2 months of work, built this almost OOB, no modification but with the addition of Crazy Modeler PE set, carpet flocking also from Crazy Modeler, some pe seat belts from KA Models, some 0.5 rivets to replicate the air valve.

Although quite a simplified kit, no suspension, wheel dont turn, it is still an excellent kit from Tamiya. Look at the front & rear light assembly, it is perfect, no glue needed, align perfectly with the body contour, only the windows are not so perfect, because if u do not glue perfectly, u will see some gaps at the roof, to counter this i glue a thin plastic sheet to conceal the gap.

Here's the WIP thread:

Comments are welcome

Saw the build progress and the finishing shots are amazing, if I had an ounce of your talent I'd be finished with my current project already that's been dragging on for over a year.
