Tamiya 1/24 pienoismalli, rakennussarja. 

An Ageless Classic 

Nissan Fairlady Z is a masterpiece of Japanese sports cars history. The initial model S30 type was a massive success, with global sales of about 0.52 millilon units; in 1971, the Fairlady 240ZG was released as the top-grade model. 240ZG featured the "Aerodyna nose" with integrated bumper, over fenders and individual headlamp covers, plus thrilling performance with a 2.4-liter engine. This car is still popular among sports car fans in the modern day.

The elegant form of this sporty coupe with long nose and cut off tail section is captured in great style.

Hinged on its front, the hood opens to reveal the inline-6 engine, with details such as twin carburetors, oil pan and transmission.

There is plenty to marvel over on the underside of the model - suspension, exhaust and propeller shaft are realistically depicted.

Wheels employ metal-plated parts and synthetic rubber tires. Emblems and turn signal rims are recreated using metal transfers.

A three-piece part breakdown for the wheels - main section and outer and wheel cover - makes for a streamlined painting process.

Window edges, door handles and antenna are rendered using metal-plated parts to give the model a further air of realism.

This image focusses on the metal-plated body parts. Separate from other components, they allow a simplified painting job.

Rear combination lamps incorporate both metal-plated and clear parts, in addition to metal transfers, with breathtaking results.

Each rear combination lamp's clear parts are split into two, to make their painting with orange and red that bit simpler.

Left: A detailed interior features depictions of the 3-meter instrument panel, wood-trim steering wheel and gearshift, and faux leather seats. Right: Metal transfers are used to recreate certain plated areas on the car. Just apply to the model for a quick and convincing finish.
