Overview of the Tamiya 24163 1/24 Castrol Toyota Toms Supra GT

This Tamiya 1/24 Castrol Toyota Toms Supra GT kit reproduces the spirit of Toyota's mid 1990s GT campaigns in miniature. It offers a rewarding assembly for hobbyists aged 10 and older and highlights engineering touches that made these racers distinctive.

Context from Japanese GT racing

The Japanese GT Car Championships launched in 1993 and quickly established a competitive field. In 1995 Toyota entered race-prepared Supras that borrowed developments from their Eagle Mk.III and TS010 prototypes. The Castrol team, driven by Sekiya and Krumm, posted notable performances that year.

Model Features and Detailing

The kit contains carefully moulded plastic parts, including white and clear components to recreate bodywork and glazing. You get a detailed chassis surface, suspension elements, and synthetic rubber slick tyres, with waterslide decals for accurate livery. Step-by-step pictorial instructions guide the build to a neat finish.
