Recreate the 1978 Ford Zakspeed Capri Turbo in 1/24 Scale

The Tamiya 24376 model kit represents the 1978 Ford Zakspeed Capri Turbo, updated with fresh Cartograf decals and a revised instruction booklet to support an accurate build. While the original motorised edition dates to 1979, this release focuses on static modelling accuracy for display.

Race Era Context and Visual Traits

In the late 1970s the Capri Turbo made notable appearances in touring car competition, up against cars such as the BMW 320 Turbo, identifiable by its low front end and pronounced wheel arches with distinctive red and yellow on black livery. This kit mirrors those styling cues for a convincing period model.

Parts Summary and Assembly Points

The kit provides detailed components to achieve a neat finished model:

  • Accurate cockpit detailing including a protective roll cage.
  • Aero disc wheels together with solid synthetic rubber slick tyres.
  • Cartograf decals supplied to replicate authentic race markings.
  • Driver figure included for a complete display scene.
  • Scale: 1/24
  • Dimensions: Length 210mm, Width 86mm, Height 51mm
  • Assembly Type: Kit
  • Decals: Included
  • Required Tools: Cement, Paint, and Finishing Supplies
With careful application and the use of a decal softener the Cartograf decals will conform well to curved surfaces, especially over a smooth gloss base coat.
This release is a static assembly kit and does not include motorisation parts; converting it for running would require aftermarket drive components and significant modifications.
Yes, painting and finishing are essential for an authentic result; masking, multiple thin coats and a final clear lacquer will enhance decal integration and surface realism.
