Painting the 1/64 scale 240Z-
I masked off the Bottom of the car for the Bright Red Top Coat. I had to mask off the sections that would end up White.
Next, After the Red Top Coar was sprayed and dried overnight, the masking paper was carefully removed. Now, the Red Section must masked off for the
painting of the White Lower Section to be painted.
At this point, the car should resemble something like this.
While allowing the White Paint to dry 24Hours, I decided to work on the Engine
Compartment. I had to fabricate the Aluminum Radiator. It made from Scrape
Flat Plastic Sheet. I glued a tiny piece of fabric to give the radiator finned look.
Then, I brushed it with Chrome Silver.
Yes, the Radiator is Tiny. That small size of parts gave me the biggest headaches
as parts were so easy to lose.
Engine Compartment was also constructed with Flat Plastic Sheets.
Note-Battery on the Left Side of the Firewall. The Radiator was mounted on the Fabricated Core Support
which has the Holes on both sides of the Radiator. The Strut Tops were painted Red Metallic.
Tweezers had to be used to
installing all of the components (like brake master cylinder,etc)
Brake Master Cylinder
Finally, the LS3 motor (got from Ebay). but nobody made T-56 6speed
transmission. So I craved on out of Balsa Wood.
LS3 Motor detailed painted with Gloss Black on most engine components.
LS3 AND T-56 Transmission installed in engine bay.
