New from Tamiya

The Xanavi R35 GT-R from the Japanese Super GT series. I have read that the roof panel is separate and molded in chrome. If you like wild racecars this series has some of the best.

Well, it may Be fast, But why did it have to be SO ugly? That is about one nasty lookin mug on that car!.

Sure ain't pretty, is it?

Now Fujimi is getting into the 1/12 market with a stock GTR:

1/12 Fujimi GTR

[Nick F40]

Of course, a nicely detailed engine, i'm not sure which if any of the 1/25 kits have engines but the 1/12 is big!

It ain't the best looking and is heavy but the race version definetly looks better than stock.

How cum the Japs are usin cartoonists to style there cars? They ALL seem to look like they're Transformers or somethin. The bikes have that Japanese Animay look to them, I just saw a commercial for the o9 Accura and it doesn't have any style to it either. In fact, ALL Jap, Korean cars are lookin EXACTLY the same to me. But then again, I am a born in the wool Hot Rodder/ Muscle car Freak!.

I went to Tokyo hobby show.

I like Hasegawa's Ferrari 312T2. It's very nice kit.

Fujimi will release Ferarri 248 F1.

yeah, no I agree, like my dad's Tundra, it's an 01 and we used to love it because the grill wasn't big enought to shove a shopping cart in, but now, it is as ugly as the others, they went away from their way of building cars and trucks like they have been for over 70 years, reliability and durability, and decided to build the American way and all just care about how big it was and big, not needed engine and guess what, it turned out hideous and the quality is worse then all other Toyota trucks. It is like that for all cars, you say good old rodder and muscle cars, now all our cars look like jellybeans and rounded off cheese graters that look the same, no individuality anymore.

Give me oldschool anyday!

Here is a link to a presentation of the real car. At least this car looks like a 2008 race car which is more than I can say for the ###### NASCAR runs including the stupid Grand Am(daytona prototypes)they run.

Well, I tend to eschew the whole baggin'-on-NASCAR turkey shoot; but hellyez, I'll take GT-R ugly over COyoTe-ugly any day of the week.

Just one question, 9-5: why's yer link say "R34"?

Oops! I guess my mind was on the one I am building now, the Xanavi NISMO GT-R R34

PRODUCTION sports cars own

Dale, I can't wait to see that!

Now super GT is not GT category. It likes DTM.

I can't belive Lexus IS-F GT300 pick up Formula Nippons's engine, and they changed FR to midship.

I like DTM
