Well it is pretty accurate considering this is the production car sized down to 1/64th scale. They never do this from scratch they always take the production car measure it input the data, and this is what you end up with.

I remember when HPI released the R35 GTR scale model. I waited several months for their official U.S. distributor to release it and the price came out to over $200. I couldn't believe it. Great craftsmanship for sure, but I'm not spending that much dinero on a 1/43rd scale die-cast. Here's to hoping the Z34 die cast will cost less.

The EBBRO cars will have the best detail and accuracy in the 1/64 scale. And Auto Art will do a great 1/18.
I'm looking forward tot he 1/24 scale Tamiya model so I can build it.
