While they never appear together onscreen, 76917 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) is an ideal companion for 76912 Fast & Furious 1970 Dodge Charger R/T. The models' different colour schemes suit combined display and they are correctly scaled, as the Skyline reaches just over 16cm in length and the Dodge Charger measures almost 18cm long. Here’s how the model looks from the top – there aren’t many details from above, but I like the clean look achieved with 2×6 tiles above the driver compartment, and the striping on the front is nice too.

Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) joins the lineup of LEGO movie-based Speed Champions sets, based on Brian O’Conner’s iconic Nissan Skyline from the Fast and Furious movie franchise. This buildable LEGO Speed Champions Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) replica model car building kit (76917) has been inspired by the iconic car from the explosive 2 Fast 2 Furious movie. Kids aged 9+, car lovers and fans of the popular movie franchise can experience a rewarding build before proudly displaying this collectible toy car or recreating fast-paced street racing scenes. The model car measures over 2 in. (5 cm) high, 6.5 in. (16 cm) long and 2.5 in. (7 cm) wide. Moreover, the exposed studs on the bonnet are unfortunate, but again difficult to avoid because the 2x4x2 2/3 wheel arches include studs on top. The new elements arriving in March should be more versatile. The wheels themselves require no improvement though, with new metallic silver inserts duplicating the rims of the original car. 76911 007 Aston Martin DB5 also made effective use of unique wheel rims. That’s partially due to the in-universe design of the car with all the racing stripes, and bits of details like the Florida license plate, and Toyo Tires branding.

Details

Brian O'Conner appeared in six of the first seven Fast & Furious films, played by Paul Walker until the actor's untimely death in 2013.
