Classic Celica XX in 1/24 scale from Tamiya

The Toyota Celica XX 2800GT captured the look and performance ethos of the early 1980s, and this Tamiya 1/24 scale kit lets builders recreate that era in miniature. The kit focuses on the car's balanced proportions and distinctive styling cues, offering a faithful build for display pieces.

Period details and engineering notes

Launched in July 1981, the Celica XX 2800GT was a top model in Toyota's second generation Celica range. Its production specifications included a 2,759cc inline-six with electronic fuel injection producing roughly 170hp, giving the original car a notable mix of power and refinement for its day.

What makes this kit appealing to modellers

Model builders will value the accurate body lines and well-defined parts that reflect the Celica XX profile. The kit includes clear assembly guidance and individually moulded components, providing a satisfying build that highlights the vehicle's signature design elements.

Display and presentation tips

When finished, the model is well suited to shelf or cabinet display among other classic Japanese sports cars. Careful painting and decal placement will enhance the authenticity and make the model stand out as a collector's item.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/24
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
This Tamiya kit is best for intermediate builders familiar with cutting parts from sprues, using model glue, and applying decals. Beginners can still build it with patience and basic tools.
Use hobby-grade acrylic or lacquer paints formulated for polystyrene. A light primer helps adhesion and reveals any surface imperfections before finishing.
Yes, the included decals are designed to match the Celica XX exterior markings. Use decal setting solution and a clear coat to achieve a painted-on look.
Build time varies by experience and finishing level, but expect several weekends for a neat, painted and detailed result. Extra time is needed if you custom paint or weather the model.
