Aoshima 06789 - 1/24 Nissan Y31 Cima '89: Detailed retro tuner assembly

The Nissan Y31 Cima is a landmark of Japanese luxury and late 80s tuning culture. This 1/24 scale kit from Aoshima recreates the 1989 Cima with a focus on period styling and realistic proportions, giving model builders a compact but rewarding subject to assemble.

Why the Y31 Cima matters to model builders

The Y31 Cima stood out for its combination of comfort and sporty cues in its day. Aoshima's kit aims to represent those traits faithfully, with parts that reflect the original lines and interior cues that appeal to fans of classic Japanese tuners. The build offers a hands-on way to study styling details from that era.

Assembly tips and display suggestions

The kit presents a moderate assembly challenge, ideal for hobbyists wanting to refine painting and trimming skills. Small components need careful handling and glue. When finished, the model displays well on a shelf or in a cabinet as part of a tuner-focused collection.

Is this kit a good match for beginners learning detail painting?

Yes, the kit is approachable for modelers who have some basic painting experience. The smaller scale helps practice fine brushwork without a huge time investment.

Will I need aftermarket parts to create a tuned look?

The kit includes standard tuner-style details, but some builders add wheels, decals, or lowered suspension parts from aftermarket suppliers to push the custom look further.

What tools are recommended to assemble cleanly?

Basic tools like sprue cutters, a hobby knife, fine files, and plastic cement are essential. Tweezers and fine sandpaper help with small parts and panel lines.
