Newsletter 505: A flying motorcycle!

It's been a while since Tamiya delighted us with a new Moto GP kit, but they finally did it with the 2020 champion Suzuki, and boy it was worth the wait! The quality in the details, such as the masks to help us paint the fairing, the pit stand to be able to properly display the motorcycle once assembled, the transparent parts for the anti-slip pads on the tank... they are all awesome! And of course, it also includes a fully detailed engine and the rest of the chassis parts so nothing is left to chance. Total eye candy!

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.
