Scaleauto Nissan Skyline Turbo Gr 5 #44 Falken

The Sideways by Racer Nissan Skyline Turbo Gr.5 Falken Edition #44 (part number FC05), rather than a model made by Scaleauto.

The Group 5 "Silhouette" class was characterized by the extremely wide bodies (fenders) and huge rear wings, built on a tube frame with a brutal turbo engine.
