NISSAN HGC211 SKYLINE 2000GT-E･S ’79 1/24 – Aoshima

Released on August 1977 as the 5th generation Skyline, the C210 series was a
full model change from the previous C110 series. With its TV commercial using
the same young couple as the C110 series, the model earned the nickname
‘JAPAN’ from the catch copy, ‘SKYLINE JAPAN’. Inheriting the
Skyline’s long-nosed short deck style, round tail lights and surfing line
style, it added a notch-back body, separate trunk and straight-style design.
This gave the C210 a stylish, new design of the new generation. The ‘JAPAN’
Skyline continued to sell well with a total production of 540,000 vehicles.
This kit replicates the ‘JAPAN’ 4-door 2000GT-E/S in its catalog spec. The
molds for this kit were designed and developed in the 1970s and may not be at
the quality of replication in today’s standards. However, genuine aluminum
wheels have been added with today’s quality. Also, with the front and rear
faces selectable between early and late model design, you are able to build the
kit to your preference.
