Hasegawa Sauber Mercedes C9 test car in 1/24 scale

The Sauber Mercedes C9 is a hallmark of late 1980s endurance racing, noted for its speed and its 1989 24 Hours of Le Mans success. This Hasegawa kit recreates the test car form at 1/24 scale, letting builders reproduce the car's aerodynamic lines and race stance accurately.

Racing pedigree and modelling interest

Under its body the C9 used a twin-turbo V8 that helped secure its competitiveness around long circuits. For kit builders the subject offers rich reference points, from body contours to race livery, making it a rewarding project for those who enjoy period race cars.

Parts quality and presentation

Hasegawa supplies precision-moulded parts and decals that support a neat, faithful finish. The assembly process highlights fine surface detail and clean joins when built carefully, producing a display piece that reflects the engineering focus of the era.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/24
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly Required: Yes, glue required
  • Decals: Included
This kit focuses mainly on exterior accuracy and bodywork; internal engine detail is limited, so serious engine modelling will need aftermarket parts or scratchbuilding.
For best adhesion and finish use acrylics or enamels formulated for polystyrene. Prime first, then apply thin coats to preserve panel detail.
Builders with basic modelling experience will enjoy this kit; beginners should allow extra time for painting and decal work, and follow step-by-step instructions closely.
