Aoshima 1/24 representation of the 1989 Celica rally car

The 1989 Toyota Celica GT-Four earned its place in rally history, and Aoshima captures that story at 1/24 scale. The model nods to the car driven by Juha Kankkunen in the Australia Rally and highlights the GT-Four's turbocharged AWD layout that gave it an edge in Group A competition.

Assembly experience and presentation

Builders will find the kit focuses on faithful bodywork and an accurate cockpit, including a detailed roll cage and racing seats to mirror rally modifications. Engine detailing is not specified, so expect the main emphasis to be on the car's silhouette and cabin rather than a full mechanical build.

Collector interest and display use

For enthusiasts assembling a rally lineup, this Celica makes a strong addition. Its scale suits shelf displays and diorama scenes, offering historical context and visual authenticity for a motorsport collection.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/24
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
The kit typically includes decals for the period livery, but check the specific box art or product listing for a confirmation of decal sheets included.
Yes. The 1/24 scale and detailed cockpit make it a good candidate for rally dioramas, especially when paired with terrain bases and figures to capture event atmosphere.
Basic modelling tools like sprue cutters, sandpaper, tweezers, and plastic cement are usually sufficient. A fine brush and masking tape help with accurate paintwork on small decals and stripes.
Assembly time varies by skill and level of finishing. For an experienced builder focusing on neat paint and decals, expect several evenings; a weekend project for more casual modellers.
