Hasegawa 1/24 Starlet EP71 Turbo-S model for serious modellers

The 1986 Toyota Starlet EP71 Turbo-S packs sporty details into a compact body. Hasegawa's 1/24 rendition mirrors the original proportions and offers a tidy kit for those wanting a realistic-scale representation of this turbocharged hatch.

Significance of the EP71 in small car culture

The EP71 carved a niche as an energetic urban hatchback with turbocharged performance that punched above its weight. It represents a period when manufacturers squeezed performance from small engines, and the kit highlights those design cues for enthusiasts.

Tips for assembly and final presentation

Mould lines are minimal and parts align well, yet careful trimming and sanding will yield the cleanest joins. Plan your paint sequence and decal placement before gluing to get the best finish for display cabinets or shelf exhibits.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/24
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint and decals included

Will the supplied decals match common period liveries?

Decals cover basic period markings and trim. For era-specific race or tuning liveries you may want aftermarket decal sheets or custom printing.

Are replacement parts available if I break a piece?

Spare parts depend on retailer and supplier stock. Small repairs can often be fixed with styrene cement and filler; contact specialist vendors for spare sprues.

How long should I expect to spend building this kit?

A focused build can take several evenings for experienced modellers. Beginners should allow more time for sanding, painting and decal work to get a neat result.
