Tamiya 24360 - 1/24 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG Scale Model Kit - Classic Coupe Build  [24360]

Tamiya 24360 - 1/24 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG: Scale Kit Overview

The Tamiya 24360 kit recreates the Nissan Fairlady 240ZG at 1/24 scale, preserving the car's sleek silhouette and period details. The real 240ZG is noted for its 2.4 litre engine and distinctive G nose, both echoed in this accurate plastic assembly kit. This build is suited to hobbyists who appreciate precise parts and a rewarding assembly process.

Why the 240ZG Became an Icon

Launched in 1970, the Fairlady 240ZG gained attention thanks to aerodynamic upgrades such as the extended nose and FRP over-fenders. Those changes lowered drag and helped the model achieve top speeds near 210 km/h, making the original a milestone in sports car design. The kit pays respect to that engineering heritage.

Kit Highlights and Build Quality

Tamiya applied new tooling and careful research to reproduce the car's proportions. The set includes a detailed engine bay and a hood that can be positioned, plus metal-plated parts for realistic window surrounds and headlight covers. These elements add authenticity without requiring overly complex finishing techniques.

Interior and Chassis Details

Inside, the cabin layout is faithfully modelled, and the underside shows a considered approach to chassis and suspension shape. Parts are arranged to make assembly logical while offering a satisfying level of detail for model builders.
