1:24 Kyoseki Skyline GP-1 Plus (Skyline GT-R [BNR32 Gr.A]) 1992

The Kyoseki Skyline GP-1 Plus 1992 in 1:24

A kit of the racing Nissan Skyline GT-R with the chassis designation BNR32 in the colors of a sponsor from the oil business. It is a car built to the Group A regulations for the 1992 season in the Japanese touring car championship.

Group A circuit specification

Group A was based on series-production cars but allowed extensive work on the engine, the brakes and the suspension. The Skyline GT-R of the BNR32 generation was utterly dominant in this category at home and gave its rivals no chance for a long time. The racing form differs from the civilian one above all in its wide fenders, a massive rear wing, racing wheels and work inside, where a roll cage takes the place of the rear bench. The exact technical specification of the particular car cannot be read from the name, so it is not stated here.

How to approach racing paint

The procedure is the reverse of a civilian car: apply the base shade first and only then lay the large-area sponsor decals onto a smooth gloss. Draw long markings over the edges in sections, with warm water and decal softener, otherwise wrinkles will form. Once they have dried the clear gloss follows and hides the edges of the film. Leave the wheel arches and the underside of a circuit car practically clean; dust and mud do not belong here.

For which collections

• Collectors of Japanese Group A circuit cars
• Modelers focused on the Skyline GT-R
• Builders who enjoy working with extensive decals
• Display cases devoted to the racing seasons of the 1990s

The sprues are unpainted and unassembled; you choose the finishing material yourself.
