Model makers seeking a credible JDM representation will enjoy the Tamiya 58237 Lexus IS 200 assembly kit. The replica echoes the Altezza's defining silhouette and pays attention to period details from the original 1998 design.
The TL-01 chassis is favoured for its rugged simplicity and ease of maintenance. The 4WD shaft drive supplies even traction on paved laps, and the fully independent double wishbone layout keeps the car composed through corners.
The clear polycarbonate body presents authentic contours and is ready for paint and decals. Combined with the supplied sport 17-inch wheels and radial tyres, the model delivers a convincing road-going appearance and steady grip on hard surfaces.
Camber and toe are fixed in the stock configuration, but you can modify gearing and ride height to adapt handling. The 540-brushed motor gives consistent, manageable power that suits club driving and display use.
A blend of accurate exterior styling and the proven TL-01 underpinnings makes the Tamiya 58237 Lexus IS 200 a practical pick for those who enjoy both building and running classic on-road models.
