Period-Correct Replica: Tamiya 57705 XB Calsonic Skyline GT-R '99

The Tamiya 57705 XB Calsonic Skyline GT-R '99 (R34) recreates the distinctive Calsonic race look in 1/10 scale. The model captures the livery and silhouette that made the GT-R an iconic presence in late 1990s motorsport.

Detail-Focused Build

Using Tamiya's reliable XB 4WD chassis, the polycarbonate body keeps the car light while reflecting the GT-R's original aerodynamic lines. The finish and decal application deliver a true-to-era presentation straight from the box.

Handling and Control

Equipped with an electric motor and tuned suspension, the car offers a predictable driving feel that works well for both practice laps and casual racing. The chassis provides stable traction and consistent feedback on typical club surfaces.

Where It Fits in the Lineup

The 57705 focuses on authentic visual detail and out-of-the-box usability rather than deep customisation. While other kits like the TT-02 cater to tuners, this XB Skyline suits enthusiasts who prioritise presentation and straightforward driving.

For model collectors and club drivers seeking classic race aesthetics with dependable mechanics, the Tamiya 57705 XB Calsonic Skyline GT-R '99 is a compelling pick. Its ready-built nature keeps things simple while providing credible on-track behavior.
