Tamiya 1/24 Nissan Fairlady 240Zg

An Ageless Classic
Nissan Fairlady Z is a masterpiece of Japanese sports cars history. The initial model S30 type was a massive success, with global sales of about 0.52 millilon units; in 1971, the Fairlady 240ZG was released as the top-grade model. 240ZG featured the "Aerodyna nose" with integrated bumper, over fenders and individual headlamp covers, plus thrilling performance with a 2.4-liter engine. This car is still popular among sports car fans in the modern day.
