Aoshima A004279 1/24 Nissan Gloria 4Dr Ht 280E Brougham

"Gra-chan" ("Grand champion") is a very cool series of custom car models reminiscent of the hopped-up cars of the '80s.

This entry is a customized 1981 Nissan 430 Gloria gussied up with front, side, and rear aero parts, funky side mirrors, and crazy-deep 14-inch chrome wheels and "hippari" (stretched) wide tires. The car body is molded in white, with the chassis and interior molded in black. The decal sheet includes a swatch of yellow from which you can cut your own stripes.
