Accurate Aoshima 1/24 Celica GT-Four rally model

This Aoshima 1/24 representation honours the 1989 Toyota Celica GT-Four that achieved rally success. The kit references the car campaigned by Juha Kankkunen at the Australia Rally, reflecting the GT-Four's turbo and AWD characteristics that defined its Group A competitiveness.

What to expect during assembly

The model emphasises exterior accuracy and a detailed passenger compartment, featuring a roll cage and period racing seats to reflect rally-spec modifications. The kit description does not confirm a full engine assembly, so builders should plan for a focus on bodywork and cockpit fidelity.

Display and collecting notes

As a scale model, the Celica GT-Four works well in themed collections of rally cars or as a standalone display piece. Its proportions and detailing offer a convincing miniature tribute to Toyota's motorsport success.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/24
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included

Is the cockpit pre-painted in the box?

Interior parts are moulded in colour on some kits, but most builders will need to paint seats, roll cage and trims to match period colours and add weathering for realism.

Can this kit be upgraded with aftermarket parts?

Yes. Modellers often fit photoetched parts, metal fasteners or aftermarket decals to raise detail level. Check compatibility with 1/24 scale accessories from other suppliers.

What surface is best for painting this plastic kit?

Use a smooth, dust-free workspace and apply a plastic primer before base coats. Acrylics and enamels both work well; use thin layers and let each coat dry before masking for multi-colour livery.

How should decals be applied to avoid silvering?

Apply decals to a glossy, well-sealed surface using decal setting solution, then seal with a clear coat. This reduces silvering and helps the decals conform to panel lines.
