Nissan 350Z ST option

This will be my next project.

The Nissan 350Z ST option '07 from Aoshima.







The hood will be carbon I think.
I'm also not gonna use the CE28 rims, but I have a 2 pieces set from Pegasus. The spokes will be painted in body colour I think.





I also have 2 sets of Nissan sporscar decals.
I think to use the Nismo Zero decals from Crazy Modeller.



I'm not sure about the bodycolour yet.

Kris.

Re: Nissan 350Z ST option

After some panelscribing, I primed the body.

Yesterday I painted it with 4 layers of TS-38 Gun Metal.

It shines already and I still have to clearcoat it





I'll bring on the Nismo Zero decals this weekend and clearcoat it.

The spokes from the wheels will be black. The dishes wil be red I think. I think that looks great with this body colour and decals.

Kris.

Re: Nissan 350Z ST option

I also did some work on the Fairlady Z.

I used the CM Nismo Zero decals for the body. I really love the quality of these decals. They work very well.









I also want to have a CF spoiler and hood, so I used CF from CM and after placing it I added the Nismo zero logo on the hood.



I also want to paint the wheels. First I painted the spokes in Dark metallic grey. I also added Nismo logo's on the wheels. I wanted to make a red trim around the wheels but I like the subtile chrome trim now, so I leave this.



And some dryfit photo's







Meanwhile I also clearcoated it, and I have to wait a week before polishing the paint.

Kris.

Re: Nissan 350Z ST option

I've got to track down some of those decals for myself.
Looks good so far! I like the subtle carbon fiber spoiler; sometimes the smallest details make the biggest difference.

Re: Nissan 350Z ST option

I haven't much done last days on this car, but I forget to place some pictures of the clearcoated body.









I think I just polish it up with some polishcompound instead of sanding and polishing the paint.

Kris.

Re: Nissan 350Z ST option

not interesting enough guys?

Last week I polished the body of the 350z.

I think this model is one of my best at the moment. The paint was already smooth and I started sanding with grit 4000 till 12000 and than polished it with different compounds. It shines like a bowling ball

I also painted the windowtrims and placed the lights.











I'll start on the interior and chassis as soon as possible.

Kris.

Re: Nissan 350Z ST option

Great job on the cf hood, and I'm glad you left the chrome on the rims, looks better in my opinion than red. I'm felling a bit reserved about the decals though. Fantastic shine! Oh and I like the cf around the headlights but shouldn't they have some light layers of smoke too?

Re: Nissan 350Z ST option

This 350Z was enough for me to buy some CM ZERO decals.
See what you've done?

Simply fantastic! I am curious to see what the rims would look like with some clear red on the edges.
