Aoshima R35 GTR

Built this one a while back, the review just now showed up in Scale Auto.

It's a decent kit, but honestly Fujimi & Tamiya both did a better job. The tires are small, the body proportions aren't as good as the others. Slightly tricky fit to the facia/hood, needed a few tweaks to fit right. It looks great finished, and if it's not directly compared to the others. It's also significantly less expensive than the Tamiya kit.

Re: Aoshima R35 GTR

Clean and smart as always

I am not very knowledgeable about this car but the wheels do seem a bit on the small side..

Re: Aoshima R35 GTR

Your review makes this kit seem like a good donor kit for GTR accents on a custom kit bash of, say, an S chassis or something of the sort.

Re: Aoshima R35 GTR

Great build despite the flaws of the kit. Paint is very smooth and you picked out the details nicely. One thing, though: the center support of the wig seems to be hanging in free air??

I love it Bob!! I just got the Fujimi kit with the engine and I have to say that Fujimi scored a home run with it! You've done a great job with the Aoshima kit!
