Model Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R KPGC110 1-24 - Hasegawa

Assembly kit of Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R Racing Concept

This Japanese car plastic model is designed to be assembled by gluing and then painted.

At 1/24 scale, the model measures approximately 187 mm in length by 75 mm in width once assembled.

The 122 pieces allow reproducing the main exterior and interior details of the competition prototype, while maintaining a format suitable for display or diorama.

Features of the Nissan Skyline KPGC110 model kit

The body is molded in dark green, a base particularly suitable for reproducing the Kenmeri GT-R Racing concept car.

Several specific parts distinguish this Racing Concept version from a standard Nissan Skyline: dedicated grille, front spoiler, fender flares, exhaust system, specific rims, and tires.

The interior also receives elements specific to competition preparation with a dashboard, roll cage, and driver's seat.

The rearview mirror completes the visible equipment of the model. These parts help give the model a presentation closer to a track-ready car.

History of the Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R KPGC110

The Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R of the KPGC110 generation belongs to an important period in the history of Japanese sports cars.

The "Kenmeri" version gets its nickname from an advertising campaign associating the Skyline with a couple of characters, while the GT-R Racing concept presented in 1972 clearly signaled a focus on competition.

The "Kenmeri GT-R Racing" prototype presented at the 1972 Tokyo Motor Show is the subject of this model.

The competition project was based on preparing the Skyline 2000GT-R, but the sports program was ultimately abandoned.

The 1/24 scale reproduction helps preserve the memory of this race car that remained at the concept stage.

Assembly, painting, and difficulty level

Like any plastic model kit to assemble, this model requires basic materials for automotive modeling: cutting pliers to detach parts, file or fine sandpaper to clean molding lines, plastic glue, and clamps for holding.

A pair of fine tweezers also facilitates handling the small interior parts and accessories.

The model is to be painted after preparing and assembling the different sub-assemblies.

The dark green molded body can serve as a work base, but a more detailed finish can be achieved with dedicated painting, followed by a varnish suitable for model cars. The dashboard, roll cage, driver's seat, rims, and various mechanical elements benefit from being treated separately to enhance contrast and readability.

Assembly and finishing tips

For a clean result, it is recommended to dry-fit before final gluing, especially for the body, grille, front spoiler, and fender flares.

The fit can thus be checked before painting.

The body panel lines can then be enhanced with a finishing wash to better highlight the panels.

The rims, tires, and competition elements also offer possibilities for light weathering.

Subtle wear on the tires, exhaust, or lower body parts may suit a presentation of a race car that has been on the track.

A Japanese car suitable for automotive diorama

This Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R Racing Concept naturally fits into a diorama dedicated to Japanese cars from the 1970s, historical car shows, or motorsports.

Its 1/24 scale allows it to be paired with other car models at the same scale and create a workshop, race stand, paddock, or exhibition scene.

The subject is particularly interesting for modelers looking for a 1/24 Nissan Skyline model kit, a Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R KPGC110 to assemble, a 1/24 scale Japanese competition car, or a reproduction of the Kenmeri GT-R Racing concept.

With its specific parts and historical origin, this model offers a base suitable for both out-of-the-box assembly and customization and weathering work.
