Tamiya 24278 Alpine Renault A110 Monte-Carlo 1971 Model Overview

The Tamiya 1/24 Alpine Renault A110 Monte-Carlo 1971 scale model reproduces the famous rally car that took victory at the 1971 Monte Carlo Rally with careful attention to period detail. Builders will recognise the A110's lightweight silhouette and rally-focused layout captured in 1/24 scale for display or diorama use.

Origins and Rally Heritage

Conceived by Jean Rédélé, the Alpine A110 evolved from the Renault 4CV and used a fiberglass-reinforced plastic body to reduce weight and sharpen handling. With a rear-mounted 956cc inline 4-cylinder and tuned suspension, the A110 earned its reputation across late 1960s and early 1970s rally stages, culminating in the 1971 Monte Carlo success.

Kit Details and Build Notes

This Tamiya kit highlights the model's distinctive lines and period components, including authentic decal sheets for the 1971 rally livery and finely moulded engine parts. At 161mm long when assembled, the finished model makes a compact yet accurate representation that suits shelf displays or club showcases.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/24
  • Length: 161mm
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Recommended for enhanced realism
The kit is best for modelers with basic to intermediate experience due to small parts and decal placement; novices can complete it with patience and basic modelling tools.
Use hobby-grade enamel or acrylic paints for the body and panel details, plus plastic model cement for strong joins; CA glue may be used for small trim pieces.
Decals are finely printed but benefit from a decal setting solution and a clear coat to seal and protect them from edge lift and UV fading.
