Looking forward to this progressing as I have had one on the go for nearly 20 years or so, its in the "TO DO" stage.

I've got the 1/24 version unbuilt, going to be watching to see if I can pinch some detailing ideas from its big brother.

One of my favorite cars, I'm not a car modeller but it's on my list to build one of these and make it look like a certain one from a show called the Devil Z.

Great looking engine! My vote is for pristine but rusty would look good too. Which would fill in a spot on your builds better?

looking real nice so far... I have the rally version of this kit to build. I'm gleaning things from your string that I may incorporate into mine eventually. Good choice of body color (IMHO).

More done to the 240Z want to add more detail to the bulkhead but the way they have moulded it (half of the bulkhead is on the body) I will have to wait till I add the body.

Really good work, congrats. on the final outcome. Very clean build and the stuff that should be clean and shiny are and the dirty or casting item look the part too (really well done). Looks like a Porsche man with a sentimental side for Japanese sport classics.

Now being 1/12 scale, where re you going to display it?
