1:24 Nissan Skyline GTR (R33) F&F

The real subject

The Nissan Skyline GT-R of the R33 generation is a Japanese coupe of the 1990s. It is driven by a turbocharged inline six, the power goes to all four wheels and the car thereby earned a reputation as a machine that can be tuned practically without end. That is exactly why it became one of the icons of the tuning scene.

The film treatment

The Fast and Furious designation in the name refers to the film series in which Skylines appear in a conspicuously modified form: different bumpers and sills, a large rear wing, auxiliary lights and striking combinations of paint and graphics. A model built after this subject is therefore not aimed at the production car from the showroom but at its film version.

What the set solves

Add-on parts for building the car in its film form in 1:24 scale. The exact scope of the package and the assembly procedure are given in the manufacturer's instructions. Before buying it is therefore worth comparing what you already have against what the set brings.

Building and painting tips

• Try the fit of the parts dry before you start adjusting or gluing anything.
• Cut the excess material away with a sharp blade a little clear of the part and sand the remainder down.
• Wash and degrease the parts before painting, otherwise the primer will not hold.
• Spray the body and let it dry thoroughly before you fit the small parts.
• A gloss finish suits the film treatment, but it calls for a carefully sanded base.

Paints and glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.
