MCR Fairlady Z – My first tuner!

Got this one wrapped up on the weekend. Far from my best effort, but right now I’m just pleased to have it off the bench. Had lots of probs with this build. Not necessarily the kit’s fault, but just trying new things that didn’t really work out. Not terribly happy with the colour or finish of the paint - but what can you do? Never built an Aoshima kit before. It had some weird assembly sequences that caused me some concern, but otherwise a pretty standard affair. It's no Tamiya rival though, and I won't be rushing out to buy another one.













And here’s a few with its much older sibling that inspired the colour scheme.

What's that old song, "It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it". Only you could make an average kit look great - top job Bryce.

Now that one cool car ,like the colour,the old one is tops also

I'm with you Bryce never was a fan of Aoshima kit's. Always had some drama with them.

Never built an Aoshima kit and dont plan to Great build Bryce! I myself love the colour mate

look's good to me

man you've done it again, wicked as always! GREAT JOB

Well done and nicely detailed rice. Gotta love the shopping list up the side. the old lady looks sweet too! Cheers

Great! I just bought the Aoshima Skyline Gt-R kit.

You say it's a bad kit but you've made another sweet lookin build.

Not to detract from the great job you've done Bryce...

...but the wheels on the Big Brown Zee look too small. Or maybe the tyres are too low profile?

Kool Ricer!!

Tuner eh Bryce?
You know you can get treatment for that!

Still .................it is a nice build

Chris

I didn’t say it was a bad kit…just different to what I’m used to. I’m sure after a couple of them you would get used to the assembly sequences. But Tamiya kits are heaps better.

Thanks Chris – I’ve been to see the quack and I have a cream that I rub on twice daily…I’m now back to hot rods and kustoms.
