Give your personal touch to the iconic Nissan R89C v2 with this white body kit from Slot.it
For those who enjoy both workshop work and the track, this white body kit of the Nissan R89C v2 from Slot.it (reference SICS28B1) is a prime opportunity. Assemble your own colour scheme, reproduce a historic livery, or create a completely original decoration: the choice is yours.
What does this kit include?
The kit exclusively includes the unpainted white body of the Nissan R89C v2. It does not include mechanics, chassis, or electronic components. It is designed to be mounted on the corresponding Slot.it platform, taking advantage of the precision fit that characterises this brand.
The Nissan R89C, a prototype with history
The Nissan R89C is one of the most recognisable Japanese prototypes from the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the late 80s. Developed by Nissan to compete in the C1 category of the World Sport Prototype Championship, it made its first appearance at Le Mans in 1989 with results that grew in experience and ambition season after season. Its characteristic, aerodynamic, and compact silhouette makes it one of the most attractive models to reproduce in slot.
The v2 version from Slot.it incorporates the latest mould revisions from the brand, with line fidelity and a fit on the mechanics that reflects the usual level of demand from this Italian house.
Painting and customisation: you are the protagonist
The body arrives in white ready to paint, with no factory-applied primer. To achieve the best results, we recommend:
- Thoroughly clean the surface with soapy water or isopropyl alcohol before applying any product.
- Use a specific primer for lexan or resin, depending on the material of the body, to improve adhesion.
- Work with paints from brands such as Vallejo, Tamiya, or Kaleido, all of which are compatible with this type of modelling and slot work.
- Apply the decals or decorative vinyls once the base colour is dry and finish with a protective varnish.
If you are looking to reproduce a historic livery of the Nissan R89C —such as those that competed at Le Mans— you will find plenty of photographic references in specialised publications and historical competition archives.

This body is designed to be mounted on the mechanics of the Nissan R89C v2 from Slot.it. Slot.it works with Sport track, so the corresponding mechanics are adapted to that system. If you have questions about the exact compatibility with your current setup, feel free to consult us.

- No decals or decoration of any kind are included.
- The final finish will largely depend on the surface preparation and the painting materials used.
Frequently asked questions
Does this body include chassis or mechanics?
No. The SICS28B1 kit includes only the unpainted white body of the Nissan R89C v2. The mechanics must be purchased separately.
What mechanics does this body mount on?
It is designed for the mechanics of the Nissan R89C v2 from Slot.it. If you have questions about compatibility with a specific mechanic, consult us and we will help you confirm it.
Do I need primer before painting?
It is highly recommended. An appropriate primer improves paint adhesion and ensures a more durable and uniform finish, especially if you are working with an airbrush.
What paints can I use?
Acrylic paints from brands like Vallejo, Tamiya, or Kaleido work very well on this type of body. Make sure to use the appropriate type according to the material of the body and the method of application (brush or airbrush).
Can I reproduce a historic livery of the Nissan R89C?
Of course. The unpainted body is precisely the ideal base for it. Check photographic references from the Le Mans editions of 1989 and 1990 to find inspiration in the original liveries.
Is it compatible with Scalextric or Ninco tracks?
The mechanics of Slot.it are oriented towards the Sport track (compatible with Scaleauto, for example). For universal track systems like Scalextric or Ninco, it may require adaptations in the guide. This body itself does not affect track compatibility, as it depends on the mechanics.
