    Tamiya Nissan Fairlady 300zx Turbo

      I was never particularly enamored with the 300zx – around here in Southern California they’re fairly rare and I know some people consider them legends on the level of the Supra and NSX. The car’s somewhat strange wedge-nosed front end never did it any favors in my eyes, but I have to concede it’s no slouch of a sports…

There comes a time, however, when you would like to build an iconic model from cinema but the means are either simply too cost-prohibitive or…
