Erik Smith Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Interesting way to do the trunk and hood. Overall, looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats to aid in doing the up coming race versions, they only have to tool some new parts instead of a new body. I believe the tunk lid will have fuel filler openings on the top.

niteowl7710 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) The trunk is separate because it's pre-cut to accept the NiSMO spoiler that both kits use. The fuel inlets are already flashed over on the initial issue of the kit - if you look closely at the photo you can see the plastic swirl a little darker in two circles (plus I have one of these too and I can attest they're already there to be drilled through). I suspect we'll see a wide range of R32 platform cars including mayhaps a GTS-4, or a GTS-t M/S is always a possibility too since nothing is molded to the chassis pan floor, so it's possible to change the chassis from 4WD to RWD by changing out the engine bottom. Several of the top end non-GT-R R32 Skylines used the Super HICAS system, so you wouldn't have to change the suspension components out. There are several versions planned as you may note there are FOUR sets of mirror faces on the chrome tree.
