1/24 Maisto Nissan GT-R R35 Custom

Sorry for the lack of updates, been very busy lately. Here's a custom job

This is how it looks like, before customization

And this is after.

Now even the boot opens

Overall, I feel this makes the car look much better. Click on the pic to view in a higher resolution ;)

1/24 Jada Nissan GT-R R35

I recently got myself a replica of Japanese beast of GT-R R35 in red hot color. Unlike Eric's Maisto R35, this car is made by Jada which is slightly bigger than any 1/24 car. I must admit that Jada's one is more superior than Maisto's in both quality and detail. No wonder that Jada's R35 is much more expensive than Maisto's one. Unfortunately, I don't have the Maisto's R35 thus I cannot make head-to-head comparison of both cars. However, you may refer to the earlier post of Eric's R35 to give you a picture of Maisto's R35.

The red body paint is awesome. The picture just somehow doesn't do the car justice.

The emblem is nicely done. A bit of paint chips on the lips but would be easily fixed with airbrush touch up.

Paint chips spotted, again! The trunk is 'openable' by the way.

Thanks God! Rearlight is made by plastic. Better than Maisto's red painted backlight.
Nice exhaust tips as well.

Perfect wheels I supposed. Look at that brake hiding behind the wheels, lovely.
Maisto's R35 doesn't have any brake behind its steerable wheels.
The GT-R emblem really gives more details to its exterior.

Opening engine hood, doors, and trunk.

The engine is nicely detailed. Thanks jada for forgetting the chrome here.

Interior is not bad for 1/24 quality. Again, thanks Jada for not throwing any ridiculous ICE there.

Overall, it is a decent 1/24 diecast you can get from Jada and a must have diecast car for GTR's fans. In my honest opinion, it's one of the best Jada cars.

I love this car so much. My rate is 9/10 for it.

Thanks for looking.

Christopher.

1/24 Jada Veilside 350Z

Jada's Veilside 350Z

And now is the time for me to give my first review on Jada's product, the 350Z Veilside. Oh.. Come on, I belive it's not only me getting crazy over Z33 after watching Tokyo Drift, right?! LOL. It certainly becomes one of my favourite car back then when Tokyo Drift fever struck me. It's been years for me forgeting my day dreaming addiction toward this car. But recently, this unique 'virus' hit me back, even more. After sitting in front of my computer for hours browsing on ebay to look for this car, I rather got nothing as the price just ridiculously unjustifiable. Funnily, until like 2 days ago, when I went to BigW Department Stores accompanying my mom shopping some household stuffs, my instinct brought my attention to the toy section, and there I eventually found a black car figure wrapped inside Jada packaging box staring at me. And there was the Fairlady dressed in Veilside 'gown' caught my attention. I took this thing off from the shelf quickly after I noticed the attractive price tag on the box and quickly run to the cashier to sedate my breathtaking joy. The feelling just indescribeable. The car is still untouched from any modification at the time I took the photo shot of it. I got a bunch of plans to improve the details and customise it in the future. So here are the pictures at the moment..

A bit dissapointed with Jada's choice of wheel, the one im after is the veilside Andrew Evolution

The front bumper is a bit too high.. hm.. would be nice if carbon lips are added.

Like a gundam face?

Huge wing. The best part of the body kit.

Interior is a bit stuffed up I think.

The paint quality is top notch!

Engine bay. I hate the chromes =(

The ICE is not my taste.



Not bad for my first Jada brand car. Rate?? 8.5/10

1/24 Nissan GT-R R35

Finally I managed to get this baby from a toy shop in KL. I was really ecstatic when I found it, as I was hunting high and low for this one. Although I'm not much of a fan of JDMs, I do enjoy a nice one every now and then. This one is no different. The paintjob is almost flawless. The detailing is as close as perfect. Although I don't quite like the rear light being painted on. And the silver rims. But the worst part? Prices has rose by RM10. I'd give the GT-R a solid 8.5/10.

Side profile. Beautiful.
Front Part. Nothing much to shout at, but at least that there is a GT-R wording there.
Rear end. Also nothing much to shout about.

Interior Shots. Quite close to excellent for a 1/24 model.
Engine details are Maisto's signature semi-3D engine.
Front View. Very well done.
Rear End. Pity those lights are painted on.
Overall Shots. Easily one of the best angles.

Outdoor Shots.
