Chaparral2f Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Does anyone know where I can find a scale model of a Z31? I would like to get one that is abou 1:24 scale for some crude wind tunnel tests. I've looked all over and haven't found one. I don't even know if anyone even makes them. Thanks, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Joe, I am sure the Japanese model companies make them and there is one that I can think of: Tamaya. The only thing is trying to buy it here in the US. Locating a kit may be difficult. I tried Googling a search, but found mostly S30 kits and other Nissan cars. Good luck.

blueovalz Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Before you go to a lot of trouble finding a model, check (or search) for the string dealing with this issue. Basically it boiled down to compressed air (air density must be inversely proportional to the scale of the model: e.g. a 1:24 model would require a wind tunnel pressurized to 24 atmospheres), or extremely high speed wind to effectively simulate airflow on a small model to obtain a credible Renolds number.
