KYOSHO ORIGINAL 1/12scale Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R "Fast & Furious" [No.KSR12007A]

The FAST & FURIOUS franchise became a global smash hit, evolving into one of the most iconic car-action film series in history. By 2023 it had reached ten installments, each showcasing a wide range of standout machines. Among them, the car that truly captured fans’ hearts in the second film, 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS, was the R34 GT-R driven by Paul Walker’s character, Brian O’Conner.

The silver body with blue strobe graphics created a striking screen presence further amplified by its C-WEST aero parts. It delivered unforgettable moments in the film, most notably the bridge jump where it soars over a rival’s car to showcase incredible performance and cementing its status as a fan favorite.

However, its time in the spotlight was limited to the opening sequence. After the street race the car is hit with an immobilizing device while fleeing the police, loses control and crashes into a parking meter, resulting in severe damage. Brian then switches to a Lancer Evolution, meaning the R34 GT-R only appears in the film’s early scenes.

Although its screen time was brief, its dynamic driving scenes and thrilling battles ensured it remains one of the most beloved cars among fans of the series even today.

The Kyosho Original Mini Car Series was first introduced in 1991, 34 years ago. As the name suggests, it is a long-standing mini car lineup that represents Kyosho.

Today, the series is available in multiple scales such as 1/12, 1/18, and 1/43, but it originally began in 1/18 scale. Taking advantage of its relatively large size for a mini car, the series has, from the very beginning, excelled at combining accurate proportions of the real vehicles with a high level of detail reproduction, including engines and interiors.

A model primarily made from non-foamed polyurethane resin, commonly used for limited-production miniature cars. Because it uses molds different from those used in die-cast production, manufacturing volumes are lower, but it offers superior detail and accuracy in reproduction.
