Revell 240z

i mustve forgot to post this here.

yes i saw the anime and yes i wanted one of my own. so i did i used a revell the car should be a small car the aoshima i got was too big for a sports car.due to time constraints its missing a lot of details like the lack of the twin turbo L,euro bumpers, and racing seats. but i decided to build something close to it.

i shaved the inside of the fenderwells in hopes of this being the final stance

took a few days but its finally in paint the rest of the parts have been painted with testors metalizers

this is the shade of blue im using its Opies nail polish modified with house of kolors dye.

been watching old school anime while i work on it.

its gonna be hard to get that stance but im gonna for it


resprayed the motor the aluminum was too bright went for stainless instead.

Re: Revell 240z

did some more work last night.

this was the worst motor i assembled way too much chrome i stripped the valve covers and front block assembly and still ended up looking kinda chromey so i painted and tinted some of the parts.i was gonna wire it sideways then my friend cursed me out cause thats not how L28s are wired


it does look good when completed ill give it that

starting the suspension this was a chore on its own but not as bad as you think.

interior completed

I've also noticed that 240Z fans are a bit obsessed about the detail of these things...
