Nismo S-Tune + Skyline Collection.

[Shelby 427 1965]

This is Tamiya's new "Nismo-Custom" kit. It's essentially their old R32 kit but with a couple of new parts - Strut brace, steering wheel, exhaust system and wheels. It also comes with a few body kit mods to make it a bit more like the Group-A racer. Usual Tamiya build quality, shake the box and it assembles itself.  

Mods to the kit were decals from the Aoshima Z-Tune, and I opted to put in front seats from an R34. I build models to represent my "ideal garage" and if I had one I would probably stick R34 seats in for extra comfort. I plan to get two more of this kit and build the standard R32, and then the 1990 Nismo homologation model.

Also shown are my current skyline models, and my 3 R32s - the blue one was the first model I ever finished and the middle one was built 2 years ago. It's nice to have a few of the same kit to be able to compare my abilities. 

Thanks for looking, all comments are much appreciated

Great builds, cool weathering/damage on the blue r32.  I can see that the nismo has a much higher level of detail under the hood than the rest.  Looking real good, Ill be using your engine bay as a reference on my godzilla build. Can I bug you for another shot of the nismo bay thanks.
