Tamiya Nissan Z Kits: 370Z, Heritage Edition or RZ34?

Published September 23, 2026 by Muncle Mikes

Tamiya Nissan 370Z Heritage Edition kit 24348, a 1:24 assembly project with stripe options

Choose 24315 for the 370Z with optional spoilers, 24348 for the 370Z Heritage stripe treatment, or 24363 for the later RZ34 Nissan Z body. All three Tamiya offers build one 1:24 car, but the RZ34 is not another trim package for the 370Z.

The name Fairlady Z appears across several Nissan generations. Keep the generation and Tamiya item number together when matching a kit to a real car or another model on your shelf.

370Z 24315: start with the body and spoiler choices

The 370Z kit 24315 includes optional front and rear spoilers, left- and right-hand-drive interior choices, and metal transfers for Z emblems and mirror faces.

This is a sensible place to start when you want a 370Z without the Heritage Edition's defining stripes. Decide on the spoilers before painting and final assembly. Optional parts do not automatically make the completed model a repeatedly convertible display.

The boomerang-shaped lights use clear and clear-red parts, and plated components provide different metallic finishes. These prepared materials still leave body, interior and detail painting to the builder.

Heritage Edition 24348: coordinate stripes with body color

The Heritage Edition kit is the option for the decorated 370Z appearance. Its listed stripe decals come in black for yellow or white builds, and silver for black or blue builds.

Choose the color pairing before purchasing paint. A yellow molded body is not a command to build only yellow, but another finish requires the appropriate preparation and materials. The decals depict graphics; they do not supply the body color itself.

The kit retains a choice of left- or right-hand drive and includes detailed cabin parts and markings. Pick it for this coordinated exterior-and-interior presentation rather than treating Heritage as a universal higher-detail grade.

RZ34 24363: a later Z and a different assembly approach

The RZ34 Nissan Z kit offers Japanese right-hand-drive or North American left-hand-drive configurations. The roof is a separate component, which helps keep contrasting roof and body painting apart.

That separation is a useful practical distinction when a two-tone finish is your goal. It does not promise a functioning removable roof on the finished car. Masking stickers assist with designated transparent sections, while other paint boundaries still follow the instructions.

Choose this kit when the later Z shape is the reason for buying. Similar naming and shared scale do not make its body parts interchangeable with the 370Z.

What is visible when the model is finished?

These listings emphasize the body, cabin and underside. None of these three descriptions promises the complete opening-hood engine presentation found in certain other Tamiya kits. Buy for the specified display features rather than assuming every sports-car model opens.

For a shelf-focused model, that can be entirely appropriate: the roof color, lights, wheels and interior may be the details you most want to appreciate. For an engine-bay project, establish that feature before ordering.

Make the final choice

Choose 24315 for a 370Z with spoiler options, 24348 for the Heritage stripe scheme, or 24363 for the later RZ34 and its regional configuration choices. Each is an unassembled static kit requiring paint and cement, not a ready-built diecast car.
