Tamiya Nissan GT-R LM Nismo & TT-02S Type-S

Coming soon from Tamiya are the Nissan GT-R LM Nismo and the TT-02D Type-S kits. Starting with the Nissan, the full-scale car is the company’s LMP1 contender for this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans race and a pretty special machine as the GT-R LM Nismo is a front motor/front driven vehicle. Tamiya’s 1/10th scale kit unfortunately does not mimic this setup but uses a pretty standard F103GT rear wheel drive pan car chassis with rubber tyres. The included Nissan bodyshell is a multi-piece affair with separate rear fin and rear wing as well as a comprehensive decal sheet.

The other new kit is the TT-02D Type-S drift car. Included are reversible lower A-arms, adjustable turnbuckles, an aluminium centre driveshaft, aluminium motor heatsink as well as CVA shock absorbers. Also part of the package are 24mm wide drift tyres. Both kits will hit the stores around mid-July.
