Reviving Rally Legends: The Tamiya Fiat 131 Abarth Model Kit

The Tamiya 1/20 scale model of the Fiat 131 Abarth Rally Olio Fiat offers enthusiasts a chance to recreate one of the most iconic rally cars from the late 1970s. Known for its striking navy blue and yellow livery, the real Fiat 131 Abarth became a legend in the World Rally Championship (WRC), clinching titles in 1977, 1978, and 1980.

A Tribute to Engineering Excellence

This model kit accurately captures the essence of the Abarth-tuned Fiat 131 Mirafiori, which was powered by a 215hp 2-liter engine. The real car's lightweight design, achieved through the use of fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) and aluminum, is reflected in the model's meticulous detailing. Builders will appreciate the inclusion of features such as the engine, roll cage-equipped interior, and suspension system, all of which add to the model's authenticity.

Craftsmanship and Detail

The 2020 re-issue of this Tamiya kit marks the first time it comes with the new Olio Fiat livery, enhancing its display value. The model measures 208mm in length and 98mm in width, providing a substantial presence for collectors. High-quality Cartograf decals ensure that the model's finish is both vibrant and durable. Additionally, the kit includes driver and co-driver figures, offering dynamic potential for diorama setups.
