R32 Skyline - Group A

I can't find a Tamiya R32 Group A Skyline at any of my usual on-line sources.

Can anyone tell me how the Fujimi and Aoshima versions compare to the Taimya one ?

Are they worth having, or am I better off waiting for a Tamiya one on Ebay...

I have heaps of suitable Tamiya wheels / tires if these are the only shortcomings of the Fujimi / Aoshima kits...

Thanks

David

They are fairly easy to get on ebay, the tamiya r32s have good engine detail.

Re: R32 Skyline - Group A

Tamiya's R32 body is not as accurate as Fujimi or Aoshima (Tamiya R32 looks overly muscular), but Aoshima doesn't make Gr.A version, and if you want accurate Gr.A engine details, your choice is limited to Tamiya. But if you want a good curbside Gr.A R32 Skyline, here's a good news--Fujimi will reissue the Calsonic version in August 6th.

ADD: I completely forgot about those kits!

Re: R32 Skyline - Group A

It is very easy to find R32 - Gr.A on the market. I love R32 very much I am luck to got almost 80% of those R32 - Gr. A & Gr. N from Tamiya, Fujimi & Aoshima.
From what i kown Aoshima have 3 R32 - Gr.A cars, only Hasegawa did not make any.

Aoshima:
