Hasegawa 20458 - 1/24 BMW 2002 tii Chin Spoiler Plastic Kit  [HA-20458]

Hasegawa 20458: BMW 2002 tii 1/24 with chin spoiler

This 1/24 scale plastic model kit portrays the BMW 2002 tii fitted with a front chin spoiler, released as a focused production that highlights period-correct exterior styling and bodywork fidelity.

The BMW 2002 tii was a sportier version of the compact 2002 line produced around the late 1960s and early 1970s. Equipped with mechanical fuel injection and chassis tweaks to sharpen response, the tii helped establish BMWs reputation for engaging compact sports sedans. The road-going model is noted for its simple, boxy silhouette and the clear link between suspension setup and on-road handling in that era.

Model construction and detailing

The kit replicates the 2002 tii exterior and supplies a separate chin spoiler component to reflect the front styling found on some period and aftermarket examples. Parts are injection-moulded plastic intended for assembly and painting; panel lines and body creases are engraved to Hasegawa standard. Wheel arches, bumpers, and trim pieces are moulded as separate items to assist fit and finish. Builders should plan for painting and basic weathering to match reference vehicles.

Assembly notes for builders

Usual modelling techniques are recommended: dry-fitting subassemblies, sanding seams, and masking for glazing. The chassis and suspension are presented as a single build sequence with underside detail appropriate for a static display model. The chin spoiler is supplied as a distinct part that can be attached prior to final finishing or added afterwards according to builder preference.

A compact 1/24 exterior-focused plastic kit that captures the BMW 2002 tii profile and includes a dedicated chin spoiler part, ideal for builders prioritising display accuracy and period bodywork detail.
