![]() Yep, I think owning one of these would be the koolest.....as you know. ![]() You have all my well wishes in pursuing your dream to be, once again, a proud "Z" car owner Spidey, good luck man.. ![]() And thank you too Robi... ![]() Got paint...?...........You betcha..... ![]() Ok, well yesterday I was busy finalizing the chassis...I added brake line brackets, front and rear, two small guides in the tunnel (to hold handbrake cables) and glued the spare wheel holder in place.... It still looks a bit rough, but most of it will be covered by the fuel tank anyways......Once it's all together, it will get a "dirty" wash over everything.... ![]() ![]() ![]() I also got most of the rear suspension components painted...so I'll be busy assembling today..... ![]() More soon guys, and thanks very much for your loyal support.. cheers Greg ![]()

Re: 1/12 Datsun 240ZG
I have to admit. Although I voted for orange, that blue paint is indeed VERY nice

![]() ![]() Thanks mate..Yes, I'm very pleased with how good the colour looks...I've only used it on a 1/24 build, and was a little unsure what to expect on a 1/12..... ![]() I'm hoping the trim (nose and fenders) colour will break it up some...so it won't be over powering... cheers Greg

This is looking great! Your little details are incredible, and it looks like you put that paint down perfectly. Awesome!

![]() Yes mate, you are absolutely correct..... It is Tamiya TS-44 Brilliant Blue. I love it...... ![]() I ordered (this morning) some Carbon Fiber, from HobbyLink in Japan.. I'm getting the usual black/pewter in 1/12 scale, as well as black/blue (?) in 1/20 scale..... ![]() I'm thinking to use it on the over fenders and a rear spoiler/wing..( I still need to make it... ![]() cheers mate Greg

Re: 1/12 Datsun 240ZG
Hey Spidey..
![]() Sorry to keep you on edge man.....things have been moving slowly. ![]() Though, I haven't laid a finger on it in a couple of weeks now....still no word from my tyre maker...... I've had some new items arrive for it, some C/F decal (over-fenders..?..) and some stick-on fabric to do a race seat.... ![]() I've been filling time working on some smaller 1/25 builds, but hope to get back on this soon mate. Thanks for your continuing interest Spidey. ![]() ![]()
