Message Board - Scale18 1/18 Scale Diecast Model Cars, Since 1997

Sun Star have made 1/18th scale left hand drive street versions of the Datsun 240Z. I was disappointed that Kyosho didn’t make one in the shade of orange that was on the first 1:1 that I ever saw. Sun Star re-released its street 240Z this year in that shade of orange and in yellow. The orange they used years ago on the same model had more red in it. Here are a couple of shots of the model I just received. It's not a high end piece but I had to have a street 240 in this color so I went for it.

Excuse the background and the lighting since I’m still far from being unpacked after a recent house move.

#463008 Autoart only made the JDM Fairlady version, too bad... by zak325 on Thursday Oct 17, 2024 at 10:05PM - there's would have been head and shoulders above the others.
- #463016 Agree. However if they did one today the body would by TCL on Friday Oct 18, 2024 at 03:03PM - probably be made of composite instead of metal.

#462969 Nice, I forgot Sun made the 240, too. by

- #462965 I remember Kyosho did those in silver and in yellow. I don't by TCL on Monday Oct 14, 2024 at 12:19PM - remember whether or not there were other colors offered but I do recall that orange was not an optio

#462960 Looks good but you forgot one or two, the orange was first by Josh Shy on Monday Oct 14, 2024 at 11:25AM -
- #462966 I was referring to "street" versions that were also left by TCL on Monday Oct 14, 2024 at 12:25PM - hand drive which eliminates all of the JDM versions. Is that orange model a 1/24th Franklin Mint? T
