Was gifted a completed 1/24 F40 when I was a single digit yr old, sadly I was too young to appreciate it….around the same time, also got about half way through a 635csi but never finished it….sigh.

I do collect various 911’s, GTR’s, NSX and Z in 1/64 scale, resin and die cast.

Im happy with the colour of the wheels now . .Like 10 coats of clear smoke over the chrome

Matt Red for seats and door incert's , and semi gloss Black

350Z body needed a sand as it showed some casting lines after it was undercoated .

I'm using a airbrush for most painting

The 350Z model is also on 19" rims

Maldat · 01-05-2022, 05:38 PM

350z turned out alright so far, now to leave it sit to harden fully .

took about 4 coats of paint, 2 of clear , 2 airbrush pots of thinner ..

will start the 370z paint job next

The 350z is the basic Tamiya one, and the 19" wheels are from a different kitset..

The paint job on the model looks like my old C110 coupe I repainted with loads of metallic flake , I added 1 liter of base hard Couse base metallic to the paint I had . . Turned out my custom mix 100% matched under my door panels . as car had been repainted before

Since most of you guys are USA based , heres a pic of my last USA car ,. ^5 model . 460 , C6 9 inch . .850 holley . ....

Handled like a aircraft carrier

and a sharky and hutch wagon with 351 ..

I dont like usa cars , ,and Im glad i brought my 370Z as was looking at mustangs . . .100% glad I did nt buy usa made

Maldat · 01-06-2022, 04:10 AM

Maldat · 01-06-2022, 04:13 AM
