It's going to be VERY interesting to compare this head to head with the Platz NuNu kit of the same subject, given that they're both excellent companies.

It's not the same subject per se, the Hasegawa kit is going to be the Factory Showroom version.  Nissan had to build 200 street legal cars to meet Group B Homolgation, and that's what this kit is going represent.  It's actually super cool as the 1:1s were 240 (advertised) HP, light weight everything, and already caged from the factory.  All you had to do was put some number placards on and go racing.

I imagine a Rally version probably will show up, and that's a waste of resources to me as Beemax/NuNu already made kits of the best finishing cars that existed on the 240RS platform, and there really aren't a lot more of them that ran - something like 20 of them were registered in Rallys over the course of their "lifespan", and most were Nissan Works cars which all use a variation of the livery Beemax put in the first issue of their kit.

Left Hand Drive, combine this with the first Silvia version and you get much closer to a US spec 200sx

Sharp Looking Car, but I have too many projects already.
