Tamiya 24323 - 1/24 Toyota 86 Retro-Inspired Model Kit  [24323]

Tamiya 24323 - 1/24 Toyota 86 Scale Model Notes

The Tamiya 1/24 Toyota 86 kit reflects the lightweight chassis and rear-wheel-drive dynamics developed by Toyota with Subaru. The road car's 2.0 litre flat-4 engine with D-4S direct injection is represented in scale, and the model aims to reproduce the car's proportions and mechanical layout.

Workshop Tips and Presentation

Building this kit is rewarding, producing a model 177mm long and 84mm wide. The bonnet can be opened to reveal a detailed flat-4, and the steerable front wheels add display flexibility. Metal transfers for mirrors and badges, along with plated lamp parts and masking stickers, help deliver a neat, true-to-life finish.

Paint Options and Styling

Tamiya specifies paints to match the official seven body colours, with a limited TS Metallic Orange available for authenticity. Options like Sterling Silver Metallic and Crystal Black Silica are listed for faithful factory replication, while custom schemes remain straightforward to tackle.
