I don't believe there are any available in North America. I've looked for that too including R/C kits that might offer a Maxima body. No luck.

Probably your best bet would be to try and find out if there's a Japanese model kit of the Cefiro. Japanese tend to make model kits of almost everything whereas North American model kit companies will only do kits of trendy, classic, or big-selling cars and trucks.

Good luck, and if you find anything, let us know.

I've been tinkering. Need a body style close, first, though. The Skyline is the closest.

Autoart makes a special edition 1:18 Skyline in a midnight purple. Hard to find.....silver, white, and blue are easy. I saw a Cefiro Japanese Model once....cannot remember where though......

I've found the Skyline in 1/24 and also a Nissan something or another that looked like an Altima or Sentra. It was decked out in race trim so it was hard to make out what exactly it was. It had a funny name, too.

Kind of a weird place for this post and this info's available by clicking the "vb code reference" link but you can do this:

Does this "resemble" a 5th Gen Maxima? It would be used as a "donor" body. http://www.fourthrock.com/maxima/images/donor_body.gif

True. But, nothing on the market resembling a Maxima; therefore, a "donor" and a bash to make it a 5th Gen Maxima.

Is a Maxima G30 the same as a Maxima?
