[MOC-Speed Champions] 1989 Nissan GTP-ZX Turbo

[Ryno917]

For my first real build after coming out of my second dark age, I tackled one of my all time favourite cars - and the one that got me hooked on racing in the first place. It's also the first time I tried my hand at building in an established theme, being the 8-stud wide Speed Champions theme. Super fun build, and I'm quite happy with the result.

Really great build, Love that era of race cars and this is a fantastic example. Well done.

Thank you! That era, and this car specifically, are the guilty parties for getting me hooked on the sport in the first place. Love the old GTP and Group C stuff, but there's been a lot of great periods in the LMP era as well. More on that soon... ;)

Do I sense more interesting cars on the horizon perhaps?  Will be keeping an eye out for sure.

There's a few in the pipeline. Most of them are mostly sorted out, but need an additional quality pass to make sure everything is secure enough and not too brittle, and then instructions and decals.

Except for one, which is almost finished. Just needs a few small decal tweaks that I'm hoping to get to this week. :)

Wicked! I love Group C and GTP era cars. This is perfectly executed.

Nice, Looking forward to seeing them then.

Thank you! There's a few more early GTP models in the works, and I would like to tackle some of the 3.5L era Group C cars as well, if I can :)

Hopefully the next will be up soon, though it'll be a newer era car. Likely back to GTP after that as there's one I really want to get finished up asap as well. :)
