Tamiya 12051 - Fairlady 240Z Street Custom: Classic 1/12 Street Tribute

This 1/12 scale Tamiya model of the Nissan Fairlady 240Z Street Custom celebrates an iconic sports car and the custom culture that followed. First launched in 1973, this refreshed kit adds updated parts that reflect popular street modifications from the era, making it a solid pick for collectors and hands-on modellers.

Why the 240Z Still Matters

The Nissan Fairlady 240Z won fans with its streamlined looks and lively performance. The real car used a 6-cylinder engine paired with a 5-speed synchromesh gearbox for an engaging drive. This kit recreates the character of the 240Z while giving hobbyists the chance to build a street-custom variant with accurate detailing.

Customization and Detail

Included parts that enhance period authenticity are RS Watanabe 8-spoke wheels, a strut tower brace, and metal air funnels. Photo-etched components supply fine touches like racing seatbelt buckles and a carburetor insulation panel, helping the finished model look and feel authentic.
