OT (kinda): Anyone know how/where to make scale model bodies of the Max?
SubscribeSpecifically a body that can be used on R/C's. That would be so cool. I've read up that you can use epoxy to model it but after that i have no idea what to do next.
Idea's anyone?
Thanks.

I wonder if HPI would make a custom mold...that would be pretty cool and add a Stillen kit on it or something like that....man that'd be nice!

No kidding!
I've asked a scale model builder who imports hobby kits from HongKong if he can find a body for the Maxima. Unfortunately he couldn't though.
Hmm.. HPI... they make sweet kits. I wonder ....

that was my thought right there....I'm sure since HPI makes bodies of "popular" sdeans (such as '00 Accord body, etc.), it wouldn't hurt for them to make a 4th or 5th gen body....I'm hopefully gonna get a Super Nitro RS4 this summer(although I wanted it since last year
), wouldn't mind having a sweet looking Maxima body(especially a 3rd gen body would be off the hook!!!) I'm gonna email them and see what they say.....

Yes, a 3rd Gen model kit (I don't do RC) would be sweet.... but probably expensive
All I've ever seen are ooogly UK-trim die-cast models for display purposes or something on eBay.

i've seen a 3rd gen one, it was pearl white. it was on ebay. i've seen a few on there, but they're very rare. i've never seen other generation maximas though.
btw, i just won this 300ZX model on ebay, but mine will be white:

The company Kyosho makes an amazing 300zx 1:18 scale model. It has carpet and real nice detail. The price should be between $59-79 depending on the color (some are discontinued).Originally posted by djslinkyz

hoo boy here we go again. No one makes a diecast or model of anything but the 3rd gen RB20DET Cefiro. I have the model kit of that, but I haven't had time to put it together. It's a level 5 or something...crazy detail.
If there were some way to get models made, it would require a large investment of $. I tried to get a pettition going to Nissan USA for a 4th gen model, but no one really showed interest.
