Nissan R390 Body Kit

The silhouette of the Nissan R390, now in your hands to customise to your liking

The Nissan R390 GT1 is one of the most iconic Japanese prototypes from the late 90s, developed by Nissan in collaboration with Tom Walkinshaw Racing to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Its aerodynamic profile, with radical lines and a long tail, makes it a visually spectacular piece both on the track and in any collector's display case.

With the reference SICS14B, Slot.it offers the body of this legendary prototype in kit form, unpainted, which opens up a range of possibilities for the enthusiast who wants to go beyond the ready-to-run model.

Scale and Level of Detail

As is customary with Slot.it bodies, the level of detail faithfully reproduces the lines of the real R390: air intakes, heat outlets, rear spoiler, and the characteristic tail of the Japanese prototype. Upon receiving it unpainted, the modeller has complete freedom to apply the historical livery that they are most passionate about — whether it be the 1998 Le Mans versions of the three official cars — or create a custom decoration.

For decoration, acrylic paints from brands such as Vallejo or Tamiya provide excellent results on this type of body. If you are going to apply decals, a satin varnish beforehand enhances adhesion and prevents silvering at the edges.

Ideal for…

• Collectors who want to build a customised replica of the Nissan R390 with their favourite livery.
• Competitors who need to replace a damaged body on the track.
• Modellers who enjoy the preparation and decoration process as much as the actual running.
• Slot hobbyists looking for a reference piece for dioramas or displays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the body come painted or unpainted?

It comes unpainted, in kit form. This gives you total freedom to apply the decoration you prefer, whether it be a historical Le Mans 1998 livery or another custom one.

Which chassis is this body compatible with?

It is designed for the Slot.it chassis corresponding to the Nissan R390 body. We recommend consulting Slot.it's technical documentation or contacting us to confirm the exact compatibility with your chassis.
