About product

Minolta Toyota 88C, Le Mans 1988 (Hasegawa 1:24)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Toyota 88C sports prototype in 1:24 scale, in a limited edition with the markings of the car in the colors of its Japanese sponsor. The finished model is about twenty centimeters long. It is supplied unpainted to be glued, and the decals are in the package.

The real subject

The Toyota 88C belonged to Group C, the category of closed endurance prototypes that in the 1980s was among the peaks of motorsport. It was a development stage of the preceding type, and in 1988 the Japanese works team ran it in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where it carried race number 36. Group C cars had a closed body with strong downforce, the intakes of a turbocharged engine along the sides and a floor shaped to pull the car down to the road. One thing needs watching on them: the machines differed in details and in lettering from race to race over the season, so the markings from the kit hold for a particular start, not for the whole year.

Building and painting tips

  • spray the body over a carefully smoothed base, on racing cars every blemish shows
  • apply a gloss base under the large decals, it prevents silvering
  • after the decals, clear coat with gloss and polish gently, and the lettering will blend into the finish
  • finish the interior and the frame before you sit the body on the chassis

Who the model is for

  • for collectors of Group C cars and Le Mans history
  • for modelers who want to practice a gloss finish and large decals
  • for builders of automobiles in 1:24 scale

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

FAQ

The category of closed endurance prototypes of the 1980s, which peaked at Le Mans itself. The cars had strong downforce, turbocharged engines and a shaped floor to pull them down to the road.

They do not. The cars differed in details and in lettering from race to race. The decals from the kit match a particular start, so compare your subject with the instructions.

It is not. It is supplied unpainted to be glued, and paints and glue are not in the package. On a racing car it is worth reckoning with a gloss finish.

About twenty centimeters long, which is usual for a sports prototype in 1:24 scale. The exact dimensions are given on the box.
