350Z Help...

[ShOrtyOC714]

Hey, i was wondering between all 3 of these 350Z kits which one is the best? or which one whould u recommend, and is there any difference in the kits? like a front lip a spoiler ect.? Cuz i saw someones kit have a small little spoiler on the end, and some had a little front lip, can someone help verify, Thanx.

If you want a wing, get the track one. I dont think theres much difference between the 2(i dont think theres 3 unless im wrong), the track has different mirrors, a front spoiler. It just sucks tamiya didnt make the Track whels

Actually there are 3, 2 different versions and a metal plated version too.

As for the rest, I agree with you, Shorty should get the Track version.

Whuts the diff. fromt the 1st and the 3rd Pic, i see they both say track, but the 3rd one i see it has a wing, and the 1st doesnt, also whut does the front lip look like? Does it just look like a black mud gaurd? Thanx

The bottom two are metal-plated kits. generally a since Tamiya doesn't remove the mold lines, so you'd have to tarnish the metal finish during your prep work...

1st : Standard Tamiya 350Z Track Model

2nd : Limited reissue of Tamiya's popular Nissan 350Z kit, with a silver-colored body piece designed to give the look of a metal-plated body.
No Spoilers front or rear

3rd : Limited-release edition of Tamiya's 350Z Track kit that includes a silver-plated body piece, Spoilers at front and rear

4th : Not shown is the same as the 2nd but not plated

IMO I would go for the 1st not being plated beacuse the plated versions still have
the mould lines which show up bad.

[ShOrtyOC714]

Thanx jay and Hiroboy for verifying it really clearly, and now im going for the 1st for sure, haha, i dont want to mess with the metal plated body.

[ShOrtyOC714]

Can anyone tell me if the 350Z wheels are female or male? Thanx

[Hiroboy]

The wheels are Female so any Aoshima or Fujimi just slip on easy

[ShOrtyOC714]

Oh ok, thanx Hiroboy, i was thinking of putting these on when i get em.. Im also thinking of respraying them SilverLeaf, cuz im not really into Chrome rims... Whut do u think?

[EMAXX]

Thanx, and oh yeah, since HLJ doesnt sell the original not metal plated body, im just going to go for the 350Z track with the rear wing and frontlip, i dont think its going to be that bad to sand off the mold lines, and anyways they call it metal plated, its jsut like sprayed in a chrome look paint to look like metal.

They sell this one. which is NOT plated.
What colour are you thinking of painting it.
Those Work Rezax II rims should look nice. if you want I can pop a set onto one of my Zed's so you can see ?
