Tamiya 24279 - 1/24 Porsche 911 Turbo 1988 Detailed Model Kit for Hobbyists  [24279]

Build the classic 1988 Porsche 911 Turbo in 1/24 scale

The Tamiya 1/24 scale rendition of the 1988 Porsche 911 Turbo gives model builders a chance to recreate one of the most recognisable sports cars. This Tamiya 24279 kit focuses on the car's distinctive silhouette and provides a realistic, step by step assembly for collectors and active hobbyists.

Performance history and notable features

The 911 Turbo first appeared in 1975 as Porsche's street legal turbocharged model. Its air-cooled, horizontally opposed 6-cylinder layout delivered strong performance, originally around 260 horsepower and later increased to about 300 horsepower with a 3.3 litre setup after 1978. The model captures the car's signature rear wing and widened bodywork that defined its era.

Kit details and building notes

This Tamiya kit accurately reproduces the 1988 Turbo's wide front and rear overfenders plus the large rear spoiler. The body is redesigned to fit extra-wide tyres for a true-to-scale stance. Builders will find a detailed engine underside and a separately moulded exhaust, while synthetic rubber tyres carry realistic tread. Metal transfers are supplied for mirrors and badges to improve finished accuracy.
