Tamiya 24033 - Scale 1/24 Toyota Celica Supra, Long Beach marshal car

The Toyota Celica Supra is a noted classic in sportscar circles. This Tamiya 24033 kit recreates the marshal car variant from the Long Beach Grand Prix in 1/24 scale, providing a focused build that highlights the car's racing support role and period styling. It is aimed at model makers who enjoy accurate scale reproduction.

Background and race service

From its introduction in the 1970s, the Celica grew into a more performance-oriented line by the early 1980s. The Celica XX 2800GT, marketed as the Celica Supra in some areas, featured a 2.8-liter DOHC six. For event duty, turbocharging was applied to certain examples, increasing power for reliable circuit service like marshal duties at Long Beach.

Kit features and finishing tips

The parts layout reproduces key visual cues such as the flared guards and roof spoiler. Builders should plan for glue assembly and paintwork to get the best out of the kit. The completed model makes a fine display item and pairs well with other vintage race-scale subjects.
