Tamiya 47397 HKS Nissan Skyline GT-R Gr.A TT-01E Build Kit  [47397]

Classic Race Replica: Tamiya 47397 HKS Nissan Skyline GT-R Gr.A

The Tamiya 47397 recreates the 1993 HKS Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 from the Japanese Touring Car Championship, capturing its bold livery and racing character. This model balances historical detail with practical assembly for collectors and active RC drivers.

TT-01E Chassis Highlights

The kit uses the TT-01 Type-E platform, featuring a bathtub frame that keeps the motor and battery low for improved balance. Fiberglass reinforced nylon on the upper deck and gear covers adds stiffness, while the double wishbone suspension and front and rear differential gears deliver predictable handling. The layout makes assembly approachable and makes on-track tuning straightforward.

Scale Details and Painting Options

The lightweight polycarbonate body comes with pre-cut wheel arches and separate parts for mirrors and the aerodynamic rear wing to boost realism. Three sheets of marking stickers plus masking stickers are included to help recreate the HKS livery, and the 5-spoke wheels fitted with slick tyres provide race-style grip.

Motor Setup and Upgrade Paths

Included with the kit are a Tamiya Torque Tuned Motor and an Electronic Speed Control (ESC), giving a reliable starting setup. The TT-01E accepts a wide range of optional parts and motors for those wanting more speed or improved handling.

The Tamiya 47397 HKS Nissan Skyline GT-R Gr.A is ideal for hobbyists who want a faithful retro touring car that is both rewarding to build and easy to upgrade for improved track performance.
