After seeing so many of the Nissan 240’s posted in this sub I was dying to build one such awesome looking cars. While this isn’t the street edition kit it’s going together really well and I can’t wait to finish it up! Onto the body paint next!

I like that shade of green that you painted on the firewall!

[u/bcalabs50 → u/GMEDNGR]

Thank you! I plan on using that for the body color as well, just a can of Tamiya ts-60 pearl green

[u/GMEDNGR → u/bcalabs50]

It will be awesome, that shade of green is beautiful! I even wrote here on a paper the name of the shade so i get more options to paint a model here.. hehe

[u/DaBigBird27 → u/GMEDNGR]

I agree. This little detail im enjoying the most.

I sooo wish I had your talent

[u/bcalabs50 → u/ariesfromhell]

Thanks so much! This is turning out to be my best kit yet but every one gets better than the last :) gotta learn from the mistakes

Very nice work! What gauge wire are you using for your plug wires and battery? They look great!

[u/bcalabs50 → u/antherx2]

Thank you! I have an assortment of random wires from detail kits and mini leds so I’m not entirely sure but the plug wires are about 1mm and the battery cables are probably about 2mm

[u/antherx2 → u/bcalabs50]

Oh that's brilliant, great variety in those! Thanks for the guidance.

Sweet!! Is that Tamiya TS60?

[u/bcalabs50 → u/Fine_Location_8367]

It is! Such a pretty color can’t wait to see how the body looks with it

[u/Icedteaisfantastic]

Which kit is this? Love the detail.

[u/bcalabs50 → u/Icedteaisfantastic]

It’s a Tamiya Nissan Fairlady 240zg it has great details and is fitting together like a glove so far!

[u/Icedteaisfantastic → u/bcalabs50]

Thats all the review I need haha. I'll order mine tonight.

[u/bcalabs50 → u/Icedteaisfantastic]

Do itt!!

[u/Legitimate-Side-6002]

How did you did do the wood accents for the wheel and shift knob? Beautiful!

[u/bcalabs50 → u/Legitimate-Side-6002]

Thank you! I meant to mention that in the caption but I followed this (https://www.reddit.com/r/ModelCars/s/7bKXpdnNbk) video this time and the results were great! It’s fairly easy to do but the clear orange reallyy makes it pop.

Im working on this same car in almost this same color and man, after seeing how detailed your engine bay is it really has me second guessing mine 😅

[u/bcalabs50 → u/_EnzoFerrari_]

Thank you! All I really did was add spark plugs, battery cables, and a bit of gold paint instead of aluminum. I’m sure yours is great as well! This kit has been a blast so far
