Aoshima AO-00848 Crown Athlete GRS214 1/24 Detailed Kit  [AO-00848]

Aoshima 1/24 Crown Athlete GRS214 Hobby Kit

The Aoshima 1/24 Crown Athlete GRS214 kit allows modellers to build a faithful miniature of the athletic Japanese saloon. Launched as part of the 210 series in 2012, the Crown Athlete combined refined styling with sporty intent; this kit represents the 3.5-liter gasoline version fitted with an 8-speed automatic and paddle shifters for an authentic reference.

Scale Accuracy and Design Cues

This model captures the hallmark features of the GRS214, from the assertive grille to the aerodynamic body lines. Attention to trim and plated elements, including the centre grille and plated frame, helps achieve a convincing scale appearance, while the 18-inch wheel design matches the 3.5-litre prototype.

Construction and Display Tips

Assembly is planned for smooth build flow, with hook-style bumper mounts and ready-coloured clear red tail lenses to reduce painting steps. Two types of plated parts are provided for visual depth, and a range of aftermarket accessories such as etched metal, metal seals, belts, and mats are available separately for those wanting extra detail.
