1:24 Taisan STP GT-R (Skyline GT-R [BNR32 Gr.A]) 1993

The Taisan STP GT-R 1993 in 1:24 scale

A model of the circuit car Nissan Skyline GT-R with the body designated BNR32, in the team form with the mark of the main partner on its flanks. The car matches the form from the 1993 season.

The 1993 season in Group A

The BNR32 generation entered the Japanese touring car championship at the start of the 1990s and dominated it so clearly that it is spoken of as the car that outgrew the category. The 1993 season was one of the last in this era when the Group A rules still applied in full force. The racing specials differed from the civilian cars in wide fenders, a large rear wing, racing wheels and an interior lightened to a minimum. The name does not carry closer technical data about the particular machine, so it is not stated here.

Racing finish and markings

Build a smooth glossy base first, because the markings of circuit cars cover a large part of the body and on a matte surface they would show their edges. Draw the sheets over the edges in sections and help them with decal softener. Once they have dried add a clear gloss, which unifies the whole surface. Leave the wheels, the brakes and the exhaust system more matte, so that they stand out against the body. Choose weathering sparingly; racing cars were usually clean between runs.

For collectors of circuit cars

• Focused on the Japanese touring car championship
• Building a line of color versions of one generation
• Experienced with extensive markings
• Looking for a striking piece for a 1990s display case

You get everything in a raw state, that is without paint and unglued.
