Product Details

The Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32), released in 1989, was developed as a base machine for Group-A races. Taking full advantage of its powerful 2.6l, 6-cylinder, twin turbo engine, it was equipped with a 4WD system. Originally designated as R32, the car was termed R33 in 1995 and R34 in 1999. In October 2000, the Skyline underwent minor changes such as the addition of large rear brakes to upgrade performance further. This new evolution was called the V-spec II. The most drastic alteration was the replacement of the aluminum hood with a new carbon hood featuring a NACA duct. The carbon pattern of the hood would stand out even when painted the same color as the car body. Both inside and outside surf

Review Summary

The reviews highlight a mixed reception to this model kit, with several users praising the high level of detail, especially in suspension and interiors, as well as the quality of parts with minimal flash or mold lines, making assembly straightforward for many. However, some criticisms include the lack of a detailed or complete engine and movable parts like the hood, alongside overly complex instructions and fit issues requiring modifications. Overall, while the kit is often seen as fun to build and detailed, it doesn't fully satisfy everyone due to these shortcomings.

The more I got into the kit, the less I liked it

By: atvrider08150

At first the kit appeared great. Being my first Tamiya kit I wasn't sure what to expect. In the end, the lack of an engine, over complicated directions, and large amount of parts which needed to be modified to fit, I do not like this kit. Probably wont buy any Tamiya kits again. Ill stick with Revell. Not to mention even though Hobbylinc has the best price, this kit is actually quite pricey!

Pretty good model

By: vitali_tkachenka (Lawrenceville, GA)

This is pretty good model from Tamiya. The attention to details and quality is very nice. I wish they made this model with more detailed engine and some moving parts (like hood) but even without all that it still pretty good build.
