Hi Ian,

Whilst most 190mm or 200mm width bodyshells will fit your car, the most important factor is the wheelbase length which will determine if the shell properly fits your car...ie the wheels fit in the wheel arches properly !!!

This is very simple to do:

Just measure from the centre of the wheelnut on the front wheel on one side to the centre of the wheelnut on the rear wheel on same side and that will give you the wheel base length.

Most modern cars are in the 250-260mm wheel base range (so the bodyshells are made to fit that size) although some of the older ones will be 280mm (The last 3 cars I did were all older 280mm wheel base length as in pics below) The Skyline and the Honda NSX are both Kyosho Cars, The Subaru is a Thunder Tiger.

Hope this helps

Regards.......Mark
