Hasegawa 1/24 scale model of the 1967 Toyota 2000GT Early Type

The Toyota 2000GT is a hallmark of 1960s automotive design, admired for its elegant lines and technical substance. Hasegawa's 1/24 kit lets scale modellers reconstruct this classic, delivering a focused build that emphasises the car's distinctive appearance.

Background and technical highlights

Unveiled at the 12th Tokyo Motor Show in 1968, the 2000GT marked a significant step for Japanese sports cars. Developed in partnership with Yamaha, it was Toyota's first passenger car to use a twin overhead camshaft engine and gained prestige through prototype racing and endurance challenges.

Construction notes and presentation

The kit models the early 1967 variant, with the main body in white and a separate black chassis. It includes silver-plated trim and wheels for enhanced realism. Engine internals are not provided, so the focus is on external detailing and achieving a polished display finish.
