Tamiya 20072 Celica LB Turbo Gr.5 - Vintage racer replica

The Tamiya 1/20 scale kit of the Toyota Celica LB Turbo Gr.5 gives builders a realistic opportunity to recreate an iconic 1977 Group 5 race car. The kit captures the car that turned heads in the German Racing Championship, featuring the distinctive aero body and the potent inline-4 DOHC turbo engine layout.

Racing Heritage

Introduced in July 1977, the Celica LB Turbo Gr.5 quickly earned attention by challenging rivals like the Porsche 935. Notable for its bold over fenders and a large FRP rear wing, the car pushed aerodynamic design of its era. This model translates those landmark styling cues into a detailed display kit.

Kit Highlights

The kit reproduces the engine bay and cockpit faithfully, including a roll cage and removable front cowl to show off engine detail. High quality Cartograf decals and a full body driver figure are supplied, along with solid synthetic rubber slick tyres. Builders can finish the model as either the no.68 or no.56 car using the two marking options provided.
