Minolta Toyota 88C-V Heritage 1/24 Scale

The Tamiya 24079 model captures the Minolta Toyota 88C-V, a late 1980s sports prototype known for its aerodynamic design and the R32V 3.2-litre twin-turbo V8. The kit emphasises period authenticity for collectors and modellers interested in classic endurance racers.

Build Features and Presentation

This 1/24 scale kit includes a detachable rear cowl to display the highly detailed V8 engine bay. The model features accurate turbo units, intercooler and oil cooler detailing along with a rear suspension layout of inboard dampers, pushrods and rocker arms. The interior reproduces a realistic instrument cluster, steering wheel and bucket seat to round out the presentation.

Decal Sheet and Painting Aids

Included Cartograf decals accurately replicate sponsor logos and car numbers, and masking stickers are supplied to help with precise paintwork. The kit also includes tyre sidewall markings to complete the authentic look.

  • Scale: 1/24
  • Length: 201mm
  • Engine: Detailed V8 with turbo units
  • Rear Suspension: Inboard dampers, pushrods, rocker arms
  • Decals: High-quality Cartograf

Is this kit suitable for beginner modellers?

While approachable, the kit contains small and detailed parts that are easier to handle with some prior modelling experience. Beginners should proceed slowly and consider practice on simpler kits first.

How should I protect the decals after application?

After decals are fully dry, apply a clear coat such as gloss or satin lacquer to seal and protect them. Use light, even sprays and allow proper curing between coats.

Can the model be posed with the rear cowl removed?

Yes, the removable rear cowl allows you to display the exposed engine bay. This makes it straightforward to show internal detail without modifying the kit.
