AUDI R8 WHITE BODY KIT

The white body of the NSR Audi R8: your perfect canvas for track customization

The NSR1408 is the complete unpainted body shell of the Audi R8 in 1/32 scale, manufactured by NSR. It comes with all the parts just as you would find in any finished car from the brand, but without paint and without a chassis, ready for you to decide how it looks.

Features and highlights

• Complete body shell: includes all the parts that make up the body of the Audi R8 in the NSR version.
• White finish: without any colour layer or decoration, prepared for custom painting.
• No chassis: this kit does not include a chassis or electronics. It is exclusively the body shell.
• For assembly: the parts require assembly by the user.
• NSR manufacturing: same quality and dimensional fit as in the brand's finished cars, ensuring direct compatibility with the corresponding NSR chassis.

Who is this kit intended for?

This type of product has three main uses within the hobby:

1. Customization: enthusiasts who want to create their own livery, whether it be a fantasy decoration, a replica of a real team, or simply a unique finish with paints like Vallejo, Tamiya, Kaleido or Ammo.
2. Repair: club racers whose original body has been damaged and need to replace it without purchasing a complete car.
3. Scale modelling applied to slot racing: users who combine modelling techniques — fillers, decals, varnishes — with tuning a competition car.

Preparation and painting: basic tips

As this is a white body shell made of polycarbonate or ABS plastic (common material in NSR), it is advisable to consider some steps before painting:

• Wash the part with warm water and neutral soap to remove any release agent residues.
• Apply a suitable primer to the substrate if using acrylic paints like Vallejo or Tamiya.
• For airbrush, water-based paints from Vallejo or Ammo provide excellent results on bodies of this type.
• Always seal with a compatible final varnish before applying decals or decorative adhesives.

Aspects to consider

This reference does not include chassis, motor, braids, guide or any electronic or mechanical components. If you are looking for a complete car ready to race, check the finished models of the Audi R8 in the NSR catalogue. If you already have the chassis and only need to renew or customize the body, the NSR1408 is exactly what you need.

Frequently asked questions

Does the NSR1408 include the chassis?

No. This kit is exclusively the body shell with all its parts. The chassis, guide, braids and motor are not included and must be purchased separately.

Is it compatible with the standard NSR chassis of the Audi R8?

As it is the official NSR body for this model, the dimensional fit is the same as in the brand's finished cars. However, we recommend verifying the compatible chassis version by consulting us before assembly.

What paints are recommended for this body shell?

Acrylic paints from brands like Vallejo, Tamiya, Kaleido or Ammo work very well, both with brush and airbrush. It is advisable to prime first if the substrate is ABS, and seal with varnish upon completion.

Do the parts come disassembled or is it a single piece?

The description indicates that it comes with all its parts for assembly. The exact number of parts and the assembly system follow the usual NSR standard for this model.

Can I use this body shell in club racing?

Yes, as long as the regulations of the championship you are competing in allow painted or customized bodies. Being an original NSR piece, the dimensions and weight are the same as in the production version.
