1973 Fuji Tourist Trophy Toyota Celica 1600GT 1/24 Plastic Model Kit - Hasegawa 20816  [HA-20816]

Hasegawa 1/24 Toyota Celica 1600GT — 1973 Fuji Tourist Trophy display model

This 1/24 plastic kit represents the Toyota Celica 1600GT driven in the 1973 Fuji Tourist Trophy, presented as a display-oriented racing replica for modelers interested in period detail.

The Celica launched in 1970 as a compact coupe and the 1600GT served as a sportier trim in the early 1970s. In Japan the Celica was adapted for touring and endurance competition, including extended events at Fuji Speedway. For the 1973 Fuji Tourist Trophy endurance races, Celica entries were prepared with a focus on reliability and balanced handling to endure long running periods.

The kit captures the Coupe silhouette at 1/24 scale and is aimed at builders who prioritise accurate exterior proportions. Expect normal assembly tasks for a kit of this scale, including seam preparation, masking for the race livery, and careful painting of small trim components. Use photographic references when matching period-correct markings and fine details.

A well-proportioned representation of a 1973 racing Celica that works well as a display piece or reference subject for collectors and builders seeking an authentic period project.
