Motul 350Z *WIP*

I am trying to build this kit, but knowing that Hiro got to it first I know I can never match his level of skill.

Anyway here is my crack at it. I am using Photoetch set from Tamiya

test fitting.

Any suggestions?

all feedback is welcomed.

yes , hiroboy is the man, but it looks like yours will be stunning as well

I think yours could be just as good as hiros does. So far it looks great. The interior looks awesome, the nismo on the seatbelts caught my eye.

Looks great, carbon fibre decaling and interior are fantastic. Are those Edward seatbelts? A couple of the Bridgestone tyre logos have been smeared but that can happen on the real cars as well.

Looking very nice indeed, I like the addition of the wires on the interior.

Another 350Z, which looks nice! Great detail on the interior.

Nice detail you've put in so far

Great progress! Your car is looking sweet. Nice job with the cf- looks convincing, and the masked markings on the tires looks fantastic, what paint did you use on them??
keep at it:)

Hey Thanks,

I used white fine primer to spray the tre markings. They are smeared slightly on purpose (wanted to give the tires the test/worn look)

The seatbelts are self adhesive precut set for this car which comes together with the Tamiya PE set. So the belts themselves are self adheseve paper with photoetched buckles and hardware.

Loved the wired interior.

Attention to every detail will make this one a classic slk320 ultra detailed car, I'm shure.

Hey,

Interior looks fantastic so far. Keep up the nice work.

wow, i can't believe how highly detailed that interior is! :eek: Truely amazing!

I can only agree with what everyone here has already said, stunning start!

Yep, all of the above.

I've not seen Hiro's version of this, so I'll keep away from it til you finish yours.

Love the silver flooring, is that Alcad or tamiya?

Looks cool to me.. Great start, I seem to recall reading that someone painted the wheels with the templates, but the paint cracked off. They used PC paints from Tamiya in the end, due to this being more flexible.

Great start though..

Love the interior detail, sensational stuff!

Looking good
Cant wait till this kit finally makes it down under

Sorry for delay in updates. Finished interior and chasis, starting to decal the body.. what a PITA.. :evillol: too many little decals that go everywhere.. so far just got one side decaled.. and even thats not done fully.

Comment....hmmm.

How about AWESOME!

Sweet, looking awesome.

Wow @ those seatbelts.... they even have the stitching in them...

So far it looks up to your usual standard, probably even topping it.... but I couldn't determine that without seeing more :P. Where have you been all this time anyway?

Hey,

It is awsome man!!!! Schubert, the seatbelts are stickers, but do come out great in pics. Keep up the great work!

Thanks eveyrone... I was away from models for a while.. work complications, but now I think I am back again ;) Barring any other disasters.
