Shelby 427 1965 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CancinoEvil Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
