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😀👏

For instance I see you mixing putty here but I don't know what you're mixing and I'd love to know what it is. 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.
