Nissan GTR R35 LHD

1:18 Kyosho

It has been a while since my last update and I apologize for that. Been really busy at work.
As promised, I would like to show you guys some pictures of my Kyosho R35 LHD Premium Edition. I also have the silver AUTOart R35 and I noticed the difference between the two and pretty much convinced that having both models was a good move. Having the two models is like having best of both worlds if you will. Kyosho as usual outdone AUTOart when it comes to the interior, engine details and to some collectors, rim color. But this doesn't mean that AUTOart's version is not accurate. First release of the GTR R35 was sporting the silver rims then later changed to dark rims. Both are accurate though Kyosho's tire profile is a little bit high for my taste. But it didn't affect the over all appearance of the replica. AUTOart has better exterior. Finer details and tighter panel gaps. The door handle on AUTOart is much much better compared to Kyosho's. Tail lamps and head lamps on AUTOart again is better or should I say realistic compared to Kyosho's version. And of course, hinges on AUTOart are spot on. Kyosho made a good effort for the hood hinges (but still not accurate unlike the hinges used on AUTOart). Even the rear bonnet still has dog legs (AUTOart has the upper hand for using realistic ones with damper support). This one is a Euro/US edition so it has the antennae and it has an orange turn signal light on the side of the body (AUTOart has clear turn signal lights). This one came with Euro and US plates. I highly recommend this replica. Cheers!
