Hasegawa 20816 - 1/24 rear-wheel-drive coupe plastic model kit of Toyota Celica 1600GT 1973 Fuji Tourist Trophy  [HA-20816]

Hasegawa - 1/24 Toyota Celica 1600GT 1973 Fuji Tourist Trophy race replica

This is a 1/24 scale plastic model kit representing the Toyota Celica 1600GT as entered in the 1973 Fuji Tourist Trophy, positioned as a display-oriented racing car kit.

The Toyota Celica was introduced in 1970 as a compact coupe and the 1600GT represented a higher-performance trim during the early 1970s. In Japan the Celica was adapted for touring and endurance events, including long-distance meetings at Fuji Speedway. For the 1973 Fuji Tourist Trophy endurance races, Celica entries were prepared with attention to reliability and handling to meet the demands of multi-hour competition.

The kit reproduces the Celica Coupe silhouette in 1/24 scale and is intended for builders who prioritize exterior accuracy and correct proportions. Expect standard assembly work for a plastic kit at this scale including preparation of seams, masking and paint for the race livery, and careful handling of small trim parts. Photographic references are recommended when matching period-correct detail and markings.

A scale representation of a 1973 racing Celica that serves as a reference subject for display-focused builders and collectors seeking a period race car project.
