1/12 Z32 300ZX?

Post by sundevil67 »

Hey All,

I was wondering if anyone knew were to find, or have ever actually seen, a 300ZX (prefer the Z32, but I'd be interested in any of the "Z" cars...basically a 1/12 version of this body?

I'm hoping to find one to fit a Kyosho Plazma chassis (vintage OR Plazma RA).

I've just been coming up totally empty using the Google machine & figured I'd see if anyone in here had ever laid eyes on one.

Thank you!

That was my donation. It’s from the Minicraft Academy 1/12 copy/clone of a Kyosho Super Alta. Here is the worst box art pic you have ever seen :lol:

I am familiar with Team Blue Groove, but must have missed that one... It's the older body style (pre-1990), but I still love it! Thank you so much! I hope it'll be a close fit with the Kyosho chassis..

It's not exactly the same but it is a Z car.

So I've decided to go with that Team Blue Groove older generation 300ZX (once they reopen ordering after the holidays anyway) & just hope that it's a decent fit with one of my old Kyosho 1/12s... Next mission is finding some "Z" decals to dress it up. The only thing close I've been able to dig up are vintage Tamiya & almost $100/sheet on eBay. Anyone know a source for something like this that doesn't cost 3x what the actual body does?

Thank you - I hadn't. I do love the 280Z style as well... I'll definitely save this to my list, though I do want to dress up a 300ZX first. My 1st choice is the Z32 (1990-96) body style, but I don't think that one exists.

Wrong scale but If you can find a 10L or something McAllister make a 300z
