The full-sized Nissan Liberty Walk GTR R35 is powered by a mobile petrol engine, but in the 1/18 scale replica by Solido, there is, of course, no functioning engine. Nevertheless, the attention to detail is fascinating: The paintwork of this model features striking dual-tone with a dominant orange body and black accents. Particularly striking are the decals and logos such as "LB Performance" and "Advan," adding to the model's realism. The body elements and paint job are faithfully recreated, adding to the allure for collectors.
