Aoshima, Tamiya, and Fujimi are all doing the new Nissan (ex Skyline) GT-R. No word on whether any are full-detail, but the prices of the Fujimi/Aoshima seem to indicate curbside. Tamiya's is a good deal more costly, so perhaps it's got an engine. If not...they're stoopid.

Fujimi is also doing a new Ferrari 250 GTO (bodes well for more variants), updating their F430 into the new Scuderia trim, and making a race variant of the Mazda RX3.

I'm also curious what the fujimi 240zg Full Works Racing will be.

Tamiya has the GTR listed twice in 1/24th scale?? one may be a grade up set?

I also see a 935 in 1/12th scale, maybe a re-release of the Martini 935 turbo? Hopefully not as a pre-built. (edit) a quick currency conversion and at $120, it's the kit... woo-hoo! This will upset a few of those folks selling these kits at outrageous prices on ebay just because the SMS super detail sets are available again.
