WIP Tamiya 350z

Well since the unfortunete demise of my Tamiya R33 GTR, I took a week off to collect my thoughts and during that time recieved a new set of brakes for my Tamiya 350Z, a project which I had started about 5 years ago but only really completed the body, some of the chassis and primed most of the other parts so here are some pics and will continue to update here as things progress

Re: WIP Tamiya 350z

The body and chassis together the color is Tamiya British racing Green, I know an unusual choice for a Nissan, however one of my favorite color and one that always represents Sports Car to me which is what the 350Z is all about



Some shots of the body painted, clear coated and now with some minor blemishes removed....next comes rubbing compound and wax

Re: Wip Tamiya 350z

The chassis everything molded in place which makes for super easy contruction but hard time painting About 70% was masked and sprayed the other 30% painted by brush which came out well and small mistakes give it a "weathered" look.....









So hope to have some more progress in next few days and the whole thing complete in a week or so
