Attention fellow toy car collectors

Wish they made more than the Transformer in black (persimmon interior would probably be too much to ask for!).

I don't understand why AutoArt don't make the 370Z considering they did the 350.

The Diecast industry is struggling. They probably don't see enough demand at the moment to cast a "regular" car like the 370.

I'm definitely waiting on AutoArt/Kyosho to finally put out a 370. I want one really bad.

Here's one I recently added to my collection. It's a Tamiya 1/24 scale kit I put together over the holidays. I painted the fangs and rear valance black and added window tint all to make the 1/24 scale one look exactly like my 1/1 scale one...

Nice work!

Slynky · 02-08-2011, 10:05 PM

Really good job ! How did you do the tint?

Thanks! I used real tint film, had some left over from a tint job I did on my old beater a few years ago. It happened to be 35%, just like what I have on my real car. The only difference is, on the kit I put it put it on the outside. But you have to look real hard to notice.

Look hard to notice ! Can't see it in these pics, so it must be on very good. Nice !

(mine is sitting on a bookshelf...LOL)

Do any of the doors, hatch, or hood open?

They have it in blue too. I've got that one.

Nope, but you can turn the front wheels.

But I have to say the interior detail is very nice and you can of course see most of that through the windows.

What? The box of parts or the completed model?
