1/24 R34 Nismo GT-R Z-Tune model - arrived

[Rezz]

It just suddenly turned up today... I was on "Hobby Search" back about the Hotworks Z-Tune GT-R model, but they replied that it was on "re-order". Now, read into that any which way you want, but I interpreted that as a fault in the quality or something... I was right. Some pics:

Detail, as usual, is great. "Weldina" muffler...

Carbon wing ffs!

THAT... is sweet.

[Rezz]

A tad blurry, sorry, but it looks like the dashboard screen is actually "on" doesn't it? [thinks]...must buy shares in Hotworks...[/thinks]

Heres the problem for the delay... the shut lines on the bonnet are no where near satisfactory. Compare this shot to the shots I posted on the Failady Z S-Tune model, and you'll see what I mean. No amount of re-alligning was going to get that front bumper closer to the bonnet shut line... hence the "re-release". I just wish Hobby Search could've sent me one of the revised ones!!! Trouble is, theres no way you can find out if the shut lines are any good until you open the box and start changing parts.

But anyway...

Nice... and of course theres the fully adjustable suspension.

My collection. Found a use for the old R34 GT-R wheels already...

Can anybody say "slammed"??? Hahahaha

[Rezz]

Got enough parts to start my own 1/24th scale wrecker yard...

Maybe ill try and pick some up in October.

Rezz,

Do you know if hotworks make a BNR32 model? (fingers crossed!)

Cheers,

Richard

[ferni]

can we get these in AUS, if not, want to ship me one Rezz?

[adznight]

Agreed, MUCH wanted

[Rezz]

You guys aren't concerned about the 'shut lines' around the bonnet?

If not please get a group buy going (somebody make a group - PM me with addys, quantity, colour etc ) and I'll do the rest. I'll also need you guys too pool the total money together, then remit the money to my address (through the post office?). Sorry, there'll be an added charge in that, but I don't have an account in AU now.

[adznight]

Shut lines?

What are these models worth round about?

[Beer Baron]

Rezz, do you know if they make an BNR32 GTR one?

Cheers,

Richard

[Rezz]

No they don't mmmgtir... not on the horizon either.

Shut lines?

You know, when the bonnet is shut, the lines or 'gaps' around the outside... must be insider car production speak.

[Beer Baron]

No they don't mmmgtir... not on the horizon either.

bummer :boohoo:

Thanks for that though.

These are toys, not really fully accurate models.

If you want the last word in accuracy, get the 1:18 Autoart static units.

I'm interested in a 350z + R34 now...

[adznight]

Amen to that Tony Autoart models are fantastic. I think I'll go fo it myself.
