Nissan 300ZX (Z31)
Hi to all:

Here are some photos of the latest car model I've completed.

It's an old Tamiya 1/24 Nissan 300ZX (Z31) from the early eighty's.

The kit is quite ok, but I would prefer if they modeled the engine as complete independent set and not fused to the chassis, as they did!

I made quite a few mistakes and that shows particularly when trying to put the hood in place!!!











Cheers

Marco Preto

You're right, the hood doesn't fit perfectly, but that's minor considering the quality of your work! The model is clean and well-detailed, and your panel lines look great. Nice work!

Gorgeous! Very crisp work, very clean. Don't sweat the hood, you did such a great job on the engine, I'd just leave it off. Awesome work!
