Fujimi R 31 GTS-R

I built this R31 a while ago, and the quality of the kit is fair at best. This curbside appears to be an older mold, and the interior and underpan feature minimal detail. The wheels are a size too small for the body, but other than the bulky rear spoiler, I feel the body is a pretty accurate representation of this model. The wheels steer.
The real car was a homologation special (Nissan constructed only 800 so the car could qualify to race in a certain division), and technically this model is an R31 GTS-R. Peformance was fair but nowhere near the R32 Godzilla that would succeed it and bring respectability back to the GT-R badge. Many do not consider this car part of the GT-R heritage, but I just built a model because I thought it was an unusual subject
