1/12 Nissan Skyline GT-R 1990 17inch wheels (http://www.hlj.com/cgi-perl/hljpage.cgi?FUJ14102)

Wondering bout getting this kit for my schools auto show in October.

I wouldn't spend a $100 for a 1/12, but thats just me. You do want you want with your money.

You have an auto show at school? Thats cool.

Yup, to hype up for homecoming. I've got 1 R32 GTR coming so far, and maybe an R33 GTR if I'm lucky.

My main plan for this kit is to make it just like the guy's R32 and give it to him to display in his shop.

with the shipping, i think it's way too overpriced. but if you like.. it's your money

Yep, I agree with the above. It's your money and you're the only one who can determine if it's worth-it to you. Personally, I'd love to build a 1/12 scale kit, but I'm just not confident I could do as good a job as I'd like. I think I'll spend a bit more time working on the smaller stuff before I make the jump!

Even though it's 1/12 those Fujimi big scale cars don't seem that detailed to me. Look at it's sister cars in that series on HLJ and you can see for yourself. IMO, perhaps you'd be better off getting a 1/24 scale Tamiya R32 and then customising that. Up to you, your money, your time :)

This is actually what I am thinking about doing now.
