Hasegawa 20716 Toyota Celica GT-Four RC (1991) 1/24 – Plastic Model Kit

The Hasegawa 20716 Toyota Celica GT-Four RC (1991) model in 1/24 scale is a true treat for any sports car enthusiast and rally fan. This kit allows you to build a faithful replica of the legendary Toyota Celica GT-Four RC ST185 – a car created as a homologation version for the World Rally Championship (WRC) in the early 1990s.

The Toyota Celica GT-Four RC is a car that, between 1991 and 1992, became a permanent part of motorsport history, securing the World Rally Championship title in the 1992 season. This car was used exclusively by the Toyota Team Europe factory team, while its special RC version (known in Europe as the Carlos Sainz Edition) was produced in 5,000 units solely to meet FIA homologation requirements. The car stood out thanks to improved cooling, reinforced drivetrains, and advanced aerodynamics, among other features.

We recommend this kit primarily to advanced modelers as well as fans of classic Japanese cars and motorsport. It's a perfect addition to a collection of rally vehicle models from the late 80s/early 90s, and also serves as an excellent base for impressive rally dioramas.

Difficulty level: 3/5 – the model requires precise assembly and painting, particularly of the engine bay and cabin details, making it an excellent choice for those with some experience in car modeling.
