Nissan 350Z

This is the Aoshima kit as opposed to the Tamiya one - OOB except for swapping the kit supplied TE37 rims for GT-C's. Colour is zero Nissan Magnetic Black Pearl although the the pearl doesn't show in the pics as it's cloudy here .







Thanks for looking
Andy

Thanks - I didn't come across any problems with the kit - Aoshima's recent releases run Tamiya pretty close (and for me their choice of subjects is more interesting).
Cheers

Re: Nissan 350Z

The car looks like it sits lower than the Tamiya did you touch the suspension? The car looks really good!

Re: Nissan 350Z

andy another fine build as always. you definately have a passion for models. i think the car would look hotter with gold gt-c's but then again i love gold rays wheels.

Re: Nissan 350Z

nice build this kit looks pretty good. it looks like the small details aren't as "perfect" as Tamiya's though. The edges around the headlight and tail light lenses aren't as crisp for one.

Re: Nissan 350Z

It would appear that it has a chassis with separate suspension parts, rather than the tamiya "toy" chassis. if so, this one is my favorite. any pics of the chassis on this fine build?
