1:24 Mitsubishi Galant GTO 2000GSR w/Chin Spoiler

The real subject

The Mitsubishi Galant GTO is a Japanese sports coupe of the 1970s, unmistakable for its ducktail rear end, which caught on in Japan at the time under the influence of American cars. The 2000GSR is the sporting version of the line, one that is still remembered in Japan today. The kit is offered in the variant with a spoiler under the front bumper, which the name states directly.

What the kit contains

Plastic parts for building a model in 1:24 scale, that is, in the standard scale of collectors' car models. The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The extent of the delivery, the number of parts and the variants that the instructions offer are stated by the manufacturer.

Building and painting tips

• wash the body before painting, fingerprints show through the paint
• apply the paint in several thin coats, one heavy one runs
• try the spoiler dry before you cement it, as a small deviation shows
• mask the windows and the trim before spraying, not after it has dried
• cement the glazing only when the paintwork is finished and with a glue that does not fog it
• polish the body only once the paint has fully cured

Who it is for

For collectors of car models in 1:24 scale and for anyone interested in Japanese coupes of the 1970s. The build is rewarding even for the less experienced, because most of the result stands or falls with the quality of the paintwork rather than with the number of parts. Paints, varnish, glue and tools are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
