Hasegawa 1/24 1979 Nissan 2000zse-x Early Model Kit

The 1979 Nissan Fairlady 280ZX-E (S130) was the second-generation Z-car, marking the transition from pure sports car to luxury grand tourer. The "E" suffix indicated electronic fuel injection on the L28E 2.8-liter inline-six producing 135 horsepower. As an early model, this 1979 version featured the original slim bumpers and chrome trim before later revisions added T-bar roofs and turbocharging. The S130 was a massive commercial success, outselling the original 240Z and introducing the Z-car to a broader audience. Hasegawa captures the elegant long-hood proportions and the refined details that defined the luxury Z-car era.
