Z model kits..

I could have sworn there was a thread on this a long time ago.
but search showed no results so,..
Any one know of any z model kits? specifically the z31?
I think a cool thing to do would be, buy a model and detail it the way i want my real car to be.

I've already done the 240z,painted it pearlescent black Imo didn't look half bad.

I wouldn't mind doing a 280zx kit if there is one.any input appreciated!

nis88300ZX: I tried finding the 280ZX...I can't seem to find it. I just used the search engine they had...no luck. The way I found it was searching each company. That was about three years ago. Go to car and bikes link and browse by company near the middle of the page. Now this was about three years ago I got this model and it costed me about $40.00 shipping included. The companies I would start searching with are:

Aoshima
Fujimi
Hasegawa
Tamiya

Those are the major car model companies I can think of. Good luck.

Okay, I did some searching this weekend to help you out some. Yeah, I was bored. Gotta hook up the Chris' in the world. Now it is out of stock, but give it some time. I contacted them every week to show interest. This price isn't bad at all. That's how much I paid for mine and this is the exact model I got. I think the yen rate is 114 yen to the dollar last I saw on the news. If the yen was 100 to the dollar you're looking at $10...shipping is anywhere from 1,700 yen to 780 yen for snail mail.

Man, after looking at all these models I'm thinking of getting another one. Maybe this one: http://www.hlj.com/product/FUJ04308

Good luck...hope this helps some.
