Tamiya 24033 - 1/24 Toyota Celica Supra Long Beach marshal car kit

The Toyota Celica Supra has long been admired by road and race fans. This Tamiya 24033 kit recreates the Celica Supra used as the marshal car at the Long Beach Grand Prix, offering a compact 1/24 scale project that highlights both the car's form and its motorsport role. The kit suits hobbyists who enjoy precise assembly and period-accurate detailing.

Origins and racing background

Introduced in the 1970s, the Celica evolved into the Celica XX 2800GT by the early 1980s, known in some markets as the Celica Supra. The roadgoing 2.8-liter DOHC inline six gave the car strong performance credentials. For Grand Prix duties, a BAE turbocharger was fitted to the competition-spec example, raising output and making the car a reliable choice for marshal duties at events like Long Beach.

Assembly notes and display appeal

The kit captures the Supra's lines, including overfenders and roof spoiler, with molded parts designed for accurate scale proportions. Builders will find the assembly engaging, and the finished model makes an attractive display piece for a shelf or diorama that focuses on classic race support vehicles.
