Tamiya 12051 Fairlady 240Z Street Custom - Timeless 1/12 Street Build

This Tamiya 1/12 Nissan Fairlady 240Z Street Custom kit brings a classic sports car and its street-mod heritage into scale. First issued in 1973, this revised release adds authentic custom parts so builders can reproduce the era's street look with accuracy.

Design and Mechanical Background

The Fairlady 240Z earned acclaim for its balanced styling and performance. The production car featured a 6-cylinder engine with a 5-speed synchromesh gearbox. The kit reflects that spirit while enabling hobbyists to assemble a faithful street-custom version.

Customization and Detail

The kit includes period-correct RS Watanabe 8-spoke wheels, a strut tower brace and metal air funnels to recreate the custom appearance. Photo-etched components add fine features such as racing seatbelt buckles and a carburetor insulation panel for an authentic finish.
