Why this kit matters
The Nissan S12 Silvia/Gazelle series became a standout model during the early to mid-1980s, known for its sharp wedge styling and balanced rear-wheel-drive layout. The Turbo Rs-X variant represented one of the sportiest trims in the range, pairing the iconic CA18ET turbocharged engine with a lightweight body that gained a loyal following among driving enthusiasts.
The S12 has grown into a cult favourite within the classic JDM community, valued for its drifting potential, distinctive retro looks, and motorsport heritage. This scale model captures its period-correct aesthetic and gives builders a chance to recreate a piece of automotive history from the golden age of Japanese sports cars.
