The Fighting Spirit Launched in 1993, the XJR400 was developed with the concept of being the “fastest air-cooled” sport bike. It features high-rigidity front forks with φ41mm inner tubes and an aluminum square swingarm for enhanced handling. Its beautifully finned, air-cooled 4-stroke DOHC inline-four engine is rigidly mounted to a double cradle frame, delivering the unique balance of stiffness and flexibility that defines the pipe-frame riding experience. Features Faithful reproduction of the 1993 XJR400 model Realistic assembly method with engine bolted to the frame, just like the actual bike Detailed underside of the fuel tank Wires and hoses replicated using vinyl tubing

Custom-Spec Gorilla Features A model that underwent multiple updates since 1967 and was produced for over half a century Custom version based on the 1978 Gorilla Rubber tires for enhanced realism and texture Vinyl tubing used for wiring and hoses

The fourth-generation Skyline, the C110 series, which underwent a full model change and was released in September 1972, became a huge hit immediately after its release. Thanks to the popular advertising slogan "Ken and Mary's Skyline," it became affectionately known as the "Kenmeri." At the 19th Tokyo Motor Show that same year, the Skyline Hardtop 2000GT-R Racing Specification was exhibited. The excitement surrounding the release of the Kenmeri GT-R reached its peak. In January of the following year, 1973, deliveries of the Kenmeri GT-R began, but the GT-R, which used leaded high-octane gasoline, could not meet the Showa 48 (1973) exhaust gas regulations. Only 197 units (the exact number is subject to debate) of this vehicle were produced, and only 195 were sold before the model was discontinued. Includes Kenmeri GT-R grille Front/rear bumpers Choice of eight-spoke or Genuine steel wheels Adjustable ride height/spring suspension Aluminum license plate

A Premonition of a Legendary Car The sixth-generation Mark II, known as the X80 series, debuted in August 1988 as a full model change from the previous X70 series. While retaining the core design concept of its predecessor, the exterior evolved into a more stylish form with smooth, curved lines in line with contemporary trends. From this generation onward, all six-cylinder models were equipped with DOHC 24-valve engines. The front suspension adopted struts, while the rear introduced a new double wishbone system. Riding the wave of Japan’s bubble economy, the Mark II became a massive hit—so much so that in 1990 its annual sales surpassed those of the Corolla, taking the top spot for the first time in history. Features Can be assembled as Grande G / GT Twinturbo / Grande Twincam24 Includes 1G-GZE / 1G-GTE engine parts Clear hood Chrome grille and housing Aero and lowered suspension parts included Genuine aluminum wheels Aluminum license plate Masking stickers for window frames included Uses 16-inch tires

The BNR32 GT-R was introduced in August 1989, at the height of Japan’s bubble economy, as an additional model to the R32 Skyline that had already debuted under the catchphrase “Super-Sensory Skyline.” After a 16-year absence since the Kenmeri GT-R, the Skyline GT-R lineage had finally returned. The BNR32 was born to dominate Group A racing—the pinnacle of domestic touring car competition at the time, known as the JTC All Japan Touring Car Championship. Its specially designed powerhouse, the RB26DETT engine, was developed with displacement determined in accordance with Group A regulations. In the JTC Championship, the BNR32 Skyline GT-R achieved complete victory in every race, accomplishing a legendary streak of 29 consecutive wins. From its debut onward, racing effectively became a GT-R one-make series, and whether on the street or the circuit, the BNR32 reigned supreme, rewriting automotive history as a truly historic masterpiece.

Aoshima's 1/350-scale sailing ship series features models of famous sailing ships from around the world at an affordable price and in a convenient size for collecting! The Cutty Sark is a tea clipper launched in 1869 in Dumbarton, Scotland. It is a typical high-speed vessel with a length six times its width, and a gross tonnage of 963 tons. It boasted a top speed of over 17 knots. At the time, wood was scarce, so it was a composite ship made of wood and iron, using steel frame and teak planking for the hull. It is still preserved today in Greenwich as the only surviving clipper ship.

A High-Grade Personal Car That Captures Everyone’s Eyes and Hearts In April 1973, the Celica LB was introduced as an addition to the first-generation A20 Celica series. Featuring a “third door” known as the liftback, the Celica LB became an instant hit upon release. By 1975, it complied with the 1975 emission regulations, and in the following year, the 2-liter DOHC model met the 1976 standards. To meet these regulations, many improvements and changes were carried out. Features Height-adjustable chassis Genuine steel wheels Optional aftermarket aluminum wheels Bucket seats Trio car stereo Aluminum license plate Decals include genuine stripes Uses molds originally developed in the 1980s

The first-generation Majesta "S14#" was introduced in October 1991, at the same time as the full model change of the ninth-generation Crown. Positioned as a luxury car bridging the gap between the Royal Series and the Celsior, it featured a newly developed monocoque chassis, a dedicated body, a 4000cc V8 engine, a front head-up display, and an Electro Multi Vision system—boasting equipment that represented the height of luxury at the time. Features Front bumper Side steps Rear bumper Rear wing Eyeline parts Aero mirrors Straight dual muffler 19-inch Goku tires 19-inch KG-WRV wheels Includes window frame masking seals

The Timeless Appeal of the Ninja GPZ900R Unveiled at the Paris Show in 1983, the GPZ900R featured a completely new compact liqued-cooled, four-valve, four-cylinder engine with a side cam-chain system, mounted on a diamond frame that used high-tensile steel pipes for the main section. With continuous improvements over the years, this legendary motorcycle remained in production until 2003. Features Faithfully reproduces the 2002 model known as A15 17-inch front wheel Front fork equipped with inner tube guards Opposed 6-pot calipers Stem and axle use metal screws, ensuring strength while making assembly easier Wires and hoses recreated with vinyl pipes

In the early 1980s, car enthusiasts were swept into a frenzy by the “Super Silhouette Series.” Monster machines that still retained traces of production cars such as the Skyline and Bluebird were fitted with bold aero parts, lightweight bodies of under one ton, and turbo engines producing over 570 horsepower. They thundered down the straights at astonishing speeds, then decelerated before corners with fierce after-fire blazing from the exhaust. The sheer spectacle left car fans of the era thrilled. Features Faithfully recreates the “Yellow Lightning” Silvia Super Silhouette, part of the legendary Nissan Turbo Silhouette team.
