Thank you. I understand your feelings. The 280Z was my dream when I was a kid. In Japan at that time, it was a popular TV drama, and the 280Z, which was remodeled into a gull wing, was very active together with the Nissan Skyline and the Nissan Silvia, which was remodeled into an open car. The filming vehicle is still owned by a drama production company, and it is displayed at events, etc., and is still popular.

Thank you. The 240Z was developed in response to a request from a Nissan America dealer, with the desire to build a sports car by a few developers in a small, shaded department at Nissan Headquarters. The Tamiya kit also shows the hard work of the Nissan development team. The thoughts of the developers packed into Z will fascinate people around the world. Two 240Z were delivered to each Nissan America dealer for display, but they were sold out on the day of release😀👏

Also it would be great if you would list all of the paints you use in your video as well as tools. In fact you could probably make a little money if you found them on amazon and did the whole affiliate thing. I'd happily by products you supported knowing you got a cut.
