Tamiya 1/24 Toyota Celica XX 2800GT kit for hobby modelers

This Tamiya 1/24 scale kit reproduces the Toyota Celica XX 2800GT, a sports coupe that defined much of the early 1980s styling trend. The kit concentrates on accurate proportions and assembly clarity, making it a popular choice for model fans.

Model history in brief

Released to the market in July 1981, the Celica XX 2800GT sat at the top of Toyota's Celica line. The production car used a 2,759cc inline-six engine with electronic fuel injection and produced around 170hp, offering a blend of performance and interior refinement.

Building benefits and features

Parts are engineered to reflect the car's distinct lines and trim. Clear instructions and well-defined sprues allow builders to focus on painting and finishing rather than complex fit issues, producing a neat final model.

Tips for finishing and display

To showcase the model, choose period-correct colours and take time on decal application. A satin or gloss clear coat will protect the finish and enhance the presentation in a collection.
