Datsun 240 Z

this is my next project a Fujimi 240Z, was a lil dissapointed with this kit its a curbside, it does come with an engine and i guess i could open the bonnet but i couldnt b bothered detailing the egine bay so its gunna b a curbside.

OH MY GOD!!!!.....is the rain getting to you mate? or havent you realised that...its a bloody jap car! haha lol look forward to seeing it finished

wats wrong with jap cars old ones rock

cool pocket rocket in the making,there was one down here years ago with a 427 chevy in the engine bay.

Is this going to be stock? Would look good with some Minilites.

Are you sure that river fever hasn't got a hold of you John. As mentioned thats a Jap car, youre a muscle car man. Go the extreme, hinge that bonnet and wack that engine in. Must go talk to Wilson now before he floats away.

I built the hi-po version of this kit a few years ago. Cut open and hinged the bonnet and detailed the engine bay. Was a bit of a nightmare but came up alright - have a look here:

Don't feel you have to cut it open and detail it.
Building a kerbside now and then makes a change when you usually go the full detail route.

thanks for the encouragement guys, i just cant get that excited about a jap car so its gunna b a curbside

Go to it and build it your way. Nothing wrong with a curbside model. What about the interior - much detail in there?

interior is dun

cool bout time you built a real car ya see what happens when im not around.
i didnt know they came out with engines though so um with that engine what you gunna do with it

the engines goin in the car

got some paint on it

nice colour mate but if ya not going to cut bonnet you wont see it will ya or is the under body fairly detailed ?

underbody detail is good dunno y they didnt do the engine bay and seperate bonnet

Yeah that's why I felt compelled to cut it open - the engine is quite nicely done.
