Hasegawa 20559 1/24 Toyota Starlet EP71 Turbo-S (3 Door) Plastic Kit  [HA-20559]

Hasegawa 20559 - Toyota Starlet EP71 Turbo-S (3 Door), Middle Version 1987 in 1/24

The kit is a 1/24 scale plastic model representing the Middle Version 1987 Turbo-S three-door Toyota Starlet EP71, offered as a limited edition aimed at scale hobbyists and display collectors.

The Toyota Starlet EP71 arrived as a compact hatchback in the mid-1980s and was notable for its lightweight construction and small-displacement engines. The Turbo-S edition provided turbocharging and sport-oriented trim that distinguished it within the EP71 family. The platform was used for both three-door and five-door forms and was aimed at drivers seeking an economical but lively city car.

Modelled here as the Turbo-S three-door, the kit emphasises accurate exterior proportions and period-correct bodywork. Assembly follows standard 1/24 modelling practice; paint and decal application will significantly affect the finished look. The limited-run nature of the release suggests a focus on reference accuracy rather than complex mechanical features.

A 1/24 plastic kit portraying the 1987 mid-year Turbo-S Starlet EP71, ideal for modellers and collectors concentrating on authentic external detail and display presentation.
