About product

Tamiya 1:24 Lexus LS 400: a kit of a luxury sedan

An automotive kit in 1:24 scale from the Japanese brand Tamiya, one of the most respected model makers in the world. The subject is the Lexus LS 400, the flagship of the Japanese luxury marque. The model belongs to the classic Tamiya automotive line, which is known among modelers for the precise fit of its parts and its clear instructions.

The real subject

The Lexus LS 400 was introduced at the end of the 1980s as the first model of an entirely new marque that Toyota founded for the top segment. Under the hood sat a four-liter V8, but the main argument for the car was not power: it was refinement. The car set the bar for quietness of running, build quality and reliability so high that it forced the established European rivals to reconsider their own flagships. On the Japanese home market the same car was sold under a different name. Today the LS 400 is among the recognized modern classics.

Building and painting tips

On a luxury sedan the result stands or falls with the paint. Sand the body carefully, use a surfacer and lay the color on in thin coats. Once dry, polishing pays off, because it is the deep gloss that matches the character of the subject. The chrome window frames and strips can be picked out with chrome paint or with a thin self-adhesive foil. Give the interior time: the cabin of a glazed limousine is clearly visible from outside, so it is worth setting the textures of the seats and the dashboard apart. Glue the glazing with an adhesive that does not fog clear parts.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of Japanese cars in a single 1:24 scale.
  • For modelers who want to try their hand at a good gloss finish.
  • For lovers of the modern classics of the 1980s and 1990s.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Tamiya automotive kits are among the more welcoming ones. The demanding part is the paint on the body, which calls for patience and thin coats.

The number of parts is given on the packaging and in the instructions for the kit. Read the instructions through before you start; with automotive models the order of painting and gluing decides the result.

It is not. The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted, so buy paints and glue separately.

Chrome paint laid on with a thin brush or a narrow self-adhesive foil both work well. Either looks better than silver paint.
