370Z Model Kits
 

I wasn't sure where to put this, but I'm wondering. What would the interest be in having a replica of your personal vehicle. I build models. This is the kit I would use. Nissan Fairlady Z (Z34) (Model Car) Tamiya No.315|Sports Car

It'd be done up exactly as your personal vehicle.

This would be a great idea to those who are done with their Zs for good, but even then new mods and new changes to the Z happen every so often, so it all depends, im sure I wouldn't want a replica when a month later my car looks totally different and you have to make another one. :icon17:

Very true.

Or you can test out what you think you might want to go with your Z as far as looks go. I know where you’re going with this. I like it I’m sure others have built one of these already not to mention add to their collection.

Price wise what would we be looking at? I could possibly go for a 40th Edition one, if you can capture the paint color. haha.

I've built that kit before. But I'm not being very good at them, it only turned out so-so. It was the highest quality kit I've tried to put together though - good stuff! If I had more time I'd definitely try it again.

The kits about $60, if I can find it in the states. (I'mport is ridiculous expensive, even for something so small) Depending on he amount of work. A copy of the 40th, maybe $100 depending on how hard it is to match the paint. There's even some aftermarket parts, like small TE37s that can be placed on them.

(yea, even on the small scale. hahaha)

I've been building for a few years. I'll just pick up a kit and work on it so ya'll can check it out.

Can you get a LHD car? I would assume no, but hey worth asking.

Yes.:tup:

Tamiya makes nice model kits. I just wish it wasn't a curbside model.

That can always be fixed, but then that would require a hell of a lot more time and be pricier. I've done aircraft for a while, I stopped because I got that whole accuracy bug and I was starting to spend TOO much for one kit.

Yeah I put away all my model stuff. I started to get into scratch building which got very expensive and time consuming. Custom leather 1/24 scale interiors take a lot of time and result in a lot of cut fingers. :bowrofl:

agreed

cool site! I have a z collection at home that i can add some of these to. Just curious though, how would you do bodykits and such. Or are you just saying you can match them paint wise.
