Like lot of people, I'm getting bit tired of Nissan GT-R minicars. At the same time, there's no denying that Nissan GT-Rs are one of the best castings TLV has to offer. 2017 update looked interesting enough & this orange paint looked cool too, so I did preorder one.
First, I really like this casting. Glad I got one. Same time, there's been couple of things that were brought up by fellow collector
GroupB on GTPlanet. First one was the front license plate. It's not as bad on mine, but you can definitely see where they made an unclean cut at the bottom of the plate. Noticeable in this blog's typical macro shots. Not much of a issue to naked eye.
Second issue brought up was the mismatching paint on the rear spoiler to rest of the body. In this shot, you can tell that both finishes feature sparkle, but to the naked eye, they were not noticeable on the spoiler. Not a deal breaker for me though.
I tried, but couldn't do these wheels justice. I'm not kidding when I say that this is one of the best wheels I've ever seen in 1/64 scale. I also failed to capture the brake rotor & neatly painted calipers, but they are there. It's pretty impressive.
All in all, highly recommended purchase. Even with those couple of flaws. :)
