Hasegawa 21124 1/24 BMW 2002 Turbo HC24: Period-Correct 1/24 Modellers Kit

The BMW 2002 Turbo holds a special place in performance car history, and this Hasegawa 1/24 kit recreates its character at scale. The parts offer a solid foundation for modellers looking to produce an authentic small-scale representation with accurate proportions.

Historical context and influence

Released in the early 1970s, the 2002 Turbo introduced turbocharged performance to a compact format. The kit reproduces the car's hallmark proportions so you can study and present the design cues that set it apart.

Assembly quality and detailing

Hasegawa moulds crisp parts that enable clean assembly and realistic detail. The kit includes interior and exterior components that respond well to careful painting and decal work, allowing a neat, museum-style finish or a more lived-in appearance.

Collector advice and finishing

Finished examples suit cabinet or shelf display alongside similar era models. For long-term preservation, use UV-safe varnish options and avoid prolonged exposure to strong light to prevent decal and paint fading.

Being comfortable with trimming parts, sanding seams and basic painting will help. Familiarity with applying decals and using model cement gives a neater end result.
Priming improves paint adhesion and reveals small imperfections to correct before final coats. Use a primer suited to polystyrene and follow with thin, even paint layers for best results.
Soften decals with a suitable setting solution and apply over glossed surfaces to reduce silvering. Work carefully and trim closely around decals to follow body contours.
Popular upgrades include aftermarket wheels, seat belts and photo-etched trim for finer detail. These additions lift realism but require careful fitting and sometimes small modifications.
