The plastic model kit of the 1987 Nissan Skyline GTS-R R31 in 1/24 scale is an offering from the renowned Japanese company Hasegawa, designed for fans of classic Japanese cars and modelers seeking authentic and detailed reproductions of 1980s vehicles. This kit allows you to build your own miniature of one of the most sought-after sports coupes to ever grace Japanese roads at the end of the eighties.

The Nissan Skyline GTS-R R31 is a limited-edition, high-performance version of the Skyline, produced in only 800 units to meet Group A homologation requirements for touring car racing. The car was famous for its turbocharged, six-cylinder RB20DET-R engine, which offered much greater tuning potential than its road-going counterparts. The GTS-R version was used by Japanese racing teams both in domestic and international series, such as the JTC (Japanese Touring Car Championship), during the Cold War era (1987–1989). The car gained acclaim for its performance and its unique, aggressive design, highlighted by the iconic GTS-R rear wing.

The Hasegawa kit is made from high-quality plastic, which ensures crisp detail, ease of processing, and perfect fit of the components. All characteristic construction features—from the angular body lines, to the finely reproduced interior and dashboard, down to the body details such as separate bumpers, mirrors, and air intakes—have been recreated with exceptional precision. The set includes a complete set of decals, allowing you to accurately replicate the original factory version and the details specific to the GTS-R homologation model.

Glue and paints are not included—they must be purchased separately. The kit belongs to the plastic model to assemble category and requires basic modeling skills to put together. We rate the difficulty at 3/5, which means the product is well-suited for intermediate modelers as well as ambitious beginners. It is especially recommended for fans of Japanese cars, collectors of the Nissan Skyline series, and motorsport enthusiasts.
