The beginning of an era, the 1990 season in the Japanese Touring Car Championship. The Hasemi team would fight throughout the season against the Impul team, sharing all the victories of the season between both teams. The Nissan Skyline sponsored by Reebok wins the third race held in Suzuka, which is the one to which this decal sheet corresponds, so complete that it even includes those that are necessary for the interior of the car, such as the one for the instrument panel. This decal sheet is suitable for any of the references of the Tamiya kit.

The livery of the 1992 JTCC champion team for the Tamiya kit of the Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 Gr.A was certainly missed. Shunko has finally prepared it, and leaving the job of painting the beautiful orange color of this version with the logo decals without inserting color stripes to the modeler.

Shunko has decided to reproduce the most relevant decorations of the Nissan Skyline GT-R used by the different teams in the Japanese Touring Car Championship (JTCC). On this occasion it is the turn of the NISMO team, which, sponsored by Kyoseki won two victories in the 1992 season and one more in the 1993 season. The versions of the decal allow to complete the decorations used in the second race of 1992 held in the Autopolis circuit and in the sixth of 1993 held in Tsukuba, those in which the NIsmo #55 reached the finish line in first position.

After its appearance in the previous season, the HKS team attacked the 1993 JTCC season with more confidence, taking victory in the third round at Sugo. That season they used a very striking decoration that became a myth, later being used in other cars and being totally recognizable. This decal sheet is suitable for any of the references of the Tamiya kit, and also serves as a replacement for the HKS version of said manufacturer.

Who was going to tell Carroll Shelby that his letter to AC to be able to transform his Ace model to be able to incorporate V8 engines was going to be so successful, especially in competition. But there were less powerful versions than the best known, the 427. The 289 version also had a 4.7 liter V8 engine, but with "only" 275 hp, which was also used in competition. The Revell kit includes a highly detailed tubular chassis as well as the V8 engine, allowing one of the myths of American motorsport to be assembled.
