A 1/24 scale plastic assembly kit of the Nissan Fairlady 240Z in street-custom trim, built as a curbside-plus model with a detailed engine. The 2.4-liter inline-six and triple carburetors sit under an opening hood, the suspension is lowered, and the car rides on two-piece RS Watanabe eight-spoke wheels. It is a glue-and-paint kit, so tools and finishing supplies are extra. Builders pick it over simpler snap kits for the engine detail and the choice of right-hand-drive Japanese or left-hand-drive Datsun spec; beginners may find the painting and decal work demanding.

Tamiya's 240Z kits are well regarded by builders for crisp molding and good fit, and this street-custom version adds engine detail and period wheels that owners like. The main complaints are the usual ones for glue kits: painting and decal work take time and skill.
This is a 1/24 scale plastic model kit of the Nissan Fairlady 240Z in Street-Custom form. It recreates the car with popular customizations from its heyday. The finished model is 172 mm long, 71 mm wide and 52 mm high.
The 2,393cc inline-6 SOHC engine and its triple carburetors are rendered realistically and can be seen under the opening hood. The car sits on lowered suspension. The RS Watanabe 8-spoke wheels are a 2-part design, which makes them easier to paint.
The kit includes new decals and metal transfers. You can build it as the Japanese version (right-hand drive) or the North American Datsun version (left-hand drive). Assembly is required, and glue, paint and finishing supplies are not included.
