1:24 Nissan Fairlady Z432 "Police Car"

The real subject

The Nissan Fairlady Z432 is the Japanese top version of a sports coupe with a long front hood and a flowing tail, which on export markets was sold under other names. The number in the designation describes the engine: four valves per cylinder, three carburetors and two camshafts in the head. Under the hood is a two-liter inline six, which the car shared with the hot sedan of the same make of the day. It was precisely the combination of a light body and a high-revving engine that made it a car prized by collectors.

What the kit contains

An unassembled and unpainted model of the car in 1:24 scale in police form. The parts are plastic and are glued with a cement intended for plastic models. The exact extent of the parts, the list of marking options and the recommended shades are given in the manufacturer's instructions. For the build have a sharp blade, nippers for separating the parts, fine abrasive paper and tweezers for the small components ready.

Building and painting tips

Paint the body before you join it to the chassis pan, and apply the paint in several thin layers; one heavy layer floods the engraving of the doors and the hood. Once dry it pays to polish the surface, because on car models a smooth gloss is more conspicuous than any other detail. Glue the glazing with a cement that does not fog transparent parts, and protect them with a mask during painting. Leave the wheels and tires for the end, so that they do not get dirty during handling.
