Hasegawa 20793 - 1/24 Mugen Motul Civic EF3 Period Livery Kit  [HA-20793]

Hasegawa 20793 - 1/24 Mugen Motul Civic (EF3) 1988 JTC model

The Hasegawa 20793 kit reproduces the Mugen Motul Civic (EF3) at 1/24 scale, matching the car campaigned in the 1988 Japanese Touring Car championship. It is intended for modellers who want a precise external silhouette and correct racing livery for display builds.

Historical context

The prototype is a Honda Civic tuned by Mugen with Motul sponsorship for national touring car events during the late 1980s. Mugen acted as a race-preparation specialist, upgrading production chassis with competition suspension and aerodynamic parts to comply with the period rules. Such conversions allowed Civics to race competitively within their class restrictions.

Notes for assembly and finishing

This kit places emphasis on the exterior surfaces and period correct decals. Builders should be prepared for standard plastic modelling tasks like trimming, filling seams, priming and masking for multi-colour livery work. The release is best suited to display-oriented builds rather than open mechanical presentation.

A reliable 1/24 kit for those focused on accurate bodywork and striking period livery replication.
