That's a pretty slick looking Nissan.  Might have to see where I can track one of those down.  Probably HLJ.

October release, so it'll be a hot minute before you need to worry about that. Although most places like HLJ have it available for pre-order.

The October 2024 release is probably a good thing for me as most likely I won't get to building it until October 2030! ?

I really want to see how this kit is tooled. It looks like it might be easy to change colours, with a quik paint job as only the Grey or White parts would need to be painted.

I'll be waiting to see the reviews.

The Special Edition is only available in that gray...a "regular" NiSMO "R35" is available in the white and red as shown, along with the venerable Silver and Black Pearl. Every inch of the black stuff shown in the CAD is Carbon Fiber on the real car. The only interior choice is black with red seat inserts, and the red exterior trim is mandatory regardless of which of the 5 colors you pick. The only options are locking wheel nuts, carbon fiber trimmed floor mats, and a hard wired USB cable. All yours for the low low price of $221,000 (U.S.).

Kit is supposed to come with mylar stickers and water slide decals. Be interesting to see how much (if any) of the mandated carbon exterior parts - the hood, roof, trunk, bumpers and spoiler are made out of the stuff rather than it being a wrap - will be included in the decals.

If the 1/24 assemble the same way as the original 1/32 versions, you may be caught out by the assembly process and simplicity of these kits. Here is a YouTube video of a GT-R34, to give you an idea of what you might expect.
