Several years ago I was happy to get a re-released Datsun 280ZX bodyset which was sold only on Japanese hobby shows. The last few months I finally found the time to build it. The body was quite a hard exercise to get done right; four colors of painting, no window masks, no window(rubber) decals. I messed up a bit the number 33 decal on the hood, but overall it came out quite well. As I didn’t have an original chassis I put the body on a tamtech chassis with a 2mm extended wheelbase. Painting some ABC hobby wheels and adding an exhaust and mirror where the final touches on this famous Paul Newman Datsun.

Lovely work Soonsie! I have looked at your cars and they are all of equally high standard, but even better still is that they're ALL mostly originals which says heaps about YOUr! creative abilities and skills. OUTSTANDING work Friend!

this is the best paintjob I have seen on this Datsun. It's a very difficult paintjob - I've also done this one, but yours turned out far better

I never like this car till now. Great livery it is. It looks superclean, a great match on the chassis and wheels too, really a cool one of a kind!
