240z Project *UPDATE*

Just got my 240Z body from ABC hobbies today and painted part of it. I thought I would keep you guys posted. Here it is now, Just the bonnet area painted.

*UPDATE*
The red is partially done. I ran out of paint, it needs another few coats. It looks awesome now! can't wait to finnish it! I'll get some more red and a can of white and then time for stickers and stupid little spot lights and cutting and done!!!

did you painted the black outside? adding a final white coat will make the red look brighter, I allways do it.

i love the body style on the 240z's. My Dad used to have one 1:1 scale of course, It sat around and then became a P.O.S, but i am sure it will look awesome when your done. Good Luck!

Neh i painted the black on the inside. Oh and by the ways it going to be the African Rally car.

SkYLiNe RaCeR- Yeh i agree, i love 240zs too, theirs not many of em in australia though, i really want a 1:1 one

Looks hell-a-beefy on the body!

that looks kool. reminds me of when they made that for gt rock crawler on monster garage. if you still want that flat black you could carefully sand the hood area with 1000 grit sandpaper

That is very kool looking, nice colors too. My dad has a real 240Z, we just finished putting a 327 in it. They are nice looking cars in real life and as an RC.
