Hasegawa 20793 - 1/24 Mugen Motul Civic (EF3) 1988 JTC Champion model

The Hasegawa 20793 is a 1/24 scale plastic model kit that reproduces the Mugen Motul Civic (EF3) as campaigned in the 1988 Japanese Touring Car competition. It is positioned as a display-oriented plastic kit aimed at builders seeking an accurate exterior representation of a late-1980s touring racer.

Real-world background

The subject is a Honda Civic prepared by Mugen with Motul sponsorship for competition in Japan's touring car series during the late 1980s. Mugen worked as an independent tuning and racing partner, adapting production chassis for circuit use and applying race-focused suspension and aerodynamic changes. Civics of this era were entered in national touring car events to compete within displacement and modification regulations of the period.

Model notes and builder considerations

This release focuses on external detailing and period-accurate livery. Builders should expect conventional plastic assembly workflows including trimming, painting, and seam cleanup. The kit is suitable for display builds that emphasize bodywork finish and decal placement rather than internal mechanical display.

A straightforward 1/24 plastic kit that represents a period touring car livery and exterior details; appropriate for modelers focused on display authenticity and livery work.
