Tamiya 24293 1/24 Scale Open Interface SC430 2006 Racing Model Kit  [24293]

Tamiya 24293 1/24 Open Interface SC430 - Heritage in Miniature

The Tamiya 1/24 Open Interface SC430 reproduces the car that secured the 2006 Super GT title. Representing the Lexus SC430 that took over from the Supra, the model evokes the season where Juichi Wakisaka and Andre Lotterer delivered a crucial result at Fuji Speedway to seal the championship.

Competitive History and Season Summary

The 2006 season showcased the SC430's strengths in race pace and team tactics. Consistent performances across events made that year memorable, and this kit gives modellers a way to study and display that motorsport achievement.

Build Features and Model Quality

Designed for hobbyists who value authenticity, the kit includes a pre-painted semi-gloss black die-cast underpanel which adds correct weight and finish. Metal transfers simulate polished accents and manufacturer badges. Clear windows with black masking stickers produce realistic tinted glazing, while nylon mesh for the front air intake and realistic synthetic rubber tyres complete the authentic look.

Enhancing the Build

For finer detail work, the SC430 Photo-Etched Parts Set is available separately and can be used to upgrade the model with delicate metal components.
