Tamiya 24219 1/24 Calsonic Nissan R34 Skyline GT-R Collector Kit  [24219]

Tamiya 24219 Calsonic R34 GT-R in 1/24 Scale

The Calsonic Nissan R34 Skyline GT-R is an icon of Japanese circuit racing, famed for its success in the All Japan GT Championships. This 1/24 scale Tamiya kit captures the 1999 race car's compact form and aerodynamic profile. The real R34 ran an inline six cylinder twin turbo engine with a 6 speed sequential gearbox, traits that made it a strong contender on track.

Scale Modelling Details and Presentation

This Tamiya kit recreates the Calsonic R34 with careful attention to the car's front and rear overhangs, preserving the model's clean silhouette. The grille is represented with nylon mesh and the under cowl is modelled using clear components to reflect the prototype's detailing. The chassis assembly shows the strut layout and drive train elements for a convincing miniature underbody.

From Road Car to Race Machine

The R34s track success came from converting a production platform into a race oriented package using carbon fibre panels and added aero work like the large rear wing. Those racing upgrades are echoed in this kit, making it appealing to collectors who want a faithful representation of engineering and livery from the period.
