Hasegawa 20801 - 1/24 Mitsubishi Lancer GSR Evolution III 1995 Hong Kong-Beijing Rally Winner

This 1/24 injection-moulded assembly kit depicts the Mitsubishi Lancer GSR Evolution III as run in the 1995 Hong Kong-Beijing Rally, produced for modellers who prioritise faithful external reproduction and display presentation.

The Evolution III marked a mid-1990s step in Mitsubishi's homologation series for Group A competition, featuring widened bodywork, altered suspension geometry and the turbocharged four-cylinder driving an all-wheel-drive system. The kit portrays a rally-prepped car in line with the endurance stages of that period.

Kit focus and building pointers

The model concentrates on exterior fidelity and rally-specific body components. Parts are supplied on injection-moulded sprues for standard glue-and-paint assembly; panel lines and surface features support scale-accurate finishing. Expect to do paint masking and light fit work for best results.

Painting, decals and display advice

The scale is well suited to 1/24 display stands or grouping with similar-era models. Proper surface preparation, careful masking and layered paint work are needed to reproduce the event livery. The kit is a practical base for modest upgrades or detailing for show displays.

Product specifications

  • Scale: 1/24
  • Assembly: injection-moulded plastic model kit
  • Material: plastic

A specialist 1/24 subject kit for hobbyists and collectors focused on 1990s rally cars, providing a reliable base for accurate finishing and light customization.

Basic modelling tools cover most requirements: sprue cutters, hobby knife, sandpaper or files, plastic cement and brushes or an airbrush, plus masking tape for the livery work.
The kit emphasises the outer shell so interior components are limited; some trimming and test-fitting may be needed where body panels meet the chassis during assembly.
For higher realism, modellers often add photo-etched parts, upgraded decals or wiring and interior upgrades. These are optional but can lift the build if you want more fidelity.
Soften decals with setting solution and apply over a gloss base to reduce silvering. Use small brushes or cotton swabs to smooth decals into curves and seams before sealing with clear lacquer.
