The Tamiya 24212 kit recreates the Lotus Europa Special, a 1960s sports car known for its compact mid-engine layout and distinctive silhouette. The model captures the Europa's streamlined profile and offers a faithful representation for hobbyists focused on period-correct road cars.
The road-going Europa Special featured a "big valve" 126hp engine paired with a five-speed gearbox, details that set it apart in its era. This 1/24 scale kit highlights those mechanical cues and the car's suspension lines, providing a satisfying build for intermediate to advanced modellers who enjoy accurate vintage replicas.
