Tamiya 300ZX Pictures!

Here it is! Rivals my Purple R33 for speed of build!
It is simplified as I don't have the tools to do my usual detail, but I am sure you will agree it still looks great!
The exhausts really set it off! The paint has a pearl effect which is hard to see in the photos, but it does look great!
I have never had to mask so many windows!

And here is the rear!
The rear suspension wants to a bit lower, but I'll do that when I get home!
You can see $30 of exhaust there!

You can see my Altona scenery in the background!
When I get time I want to take some shots on the beach! It will be my only chance for a while!

I smell RICE on the exhaust tips !!!!....j/k

Looks fantastic as always Dan.
The height doesnt look to bad.
Nice choice of colour in the end. The darker wheels well look good when you get them on.

The standard pea shooters looked so bad!!!

These were the only ones the shop had two of! Still, it is an example of the OTT stuff they stick on the cars here! I'll have to give it Ozzie plates!!!

Fab job as usual. I'm still amazed at how nice you can get the paint.

Wow, it looks great as always. I didn't think the yellow would look that great, but you have proved me wrong. Good job. It's a nice addition to your collection.

Thanks again guys and gals! (Better call you all that now we have FTO Girl on board!)

I can knock them out quickly here as I am on holiday, and have nothing to do all day except sunbathe and make models! (Though I met a girl on Sunday guys! It may have knocked modelling on the head! )

Jay, the wheels are left and right handed, so they point the right way on each side!

G-Forces, this was my first attempt with what I call model paint, and the shine is quite soft! I guess because it is a light colour too!

JE123, how could you ever doubt me man! I wanted something really different in colour for the cabinet! I think I have that now! Can't wait to see it in there with the others!

tenzoracerevovii, LauBak did the lights picture for me using Photoshop! No LEDS in volved now mate, welcome to the computer age!
