The first 300-ZX GTP to be campaigned by a team other than Nissan.
1990 issue by Starter. Resin/multi-media 1/43rd scale kit.
These are the "full instructions".
The paint scheme is done entirely with decals.
First step was to clean up the casting lines and while most of them were relatively fine the ones in the inner front fenders were huge, about 0.060 on one side and 0.080 on the other. Some of the panel lines were weak so they were rescribed, and then most of the others were done to match. Some of the scoop openings were filled in so they were carved out.
The PE brass rear fins didn't fit well so I made a tool out of the brass fret the parts came on and cut a couple grooves into the body.
It looks pretty ratty now, but a few light coats of primer should remedy that.
