Hasegawa 20579 - 1/24 Biyo Tom's Corolla Levin AE92 1989 JTC: compact touring car model

The Hasegawa 20579 kit presents the Biyo Tom's Corolla Levin AE92 from the 1989 JTC with a focus on scale-correct lines and authentic race details. It is crafted to reflect the chassis proportions and visual cues of the original competition car.

Authenticity from the JTC paddock

The AE92 saw competition in the 1989 Japanese Touring Car Championship and demonstrated Toyota's racing engineering of the period. This kit brings those historical elements into a manageable 1/24 scale project.

Build characteristics and tips

Parts require careful cleaning and test-fitting. Accurate decal alignment and crisp paintwork are essential to reproduce the car's race livery convincingly. Small photo-etch or aftermarket parts can improve realism but are optional.

Collector appeal

At 1/24 scale, the finished Levin is a strong candidate for display cabinets or dioramas featuring late 1980s touring cars, offering both period accuracy and visible detail for close inspection.
