1/24 Hasegawa Sauber Mercedes C9 test car replica

The Sauber Mercedes C9 became a standout in late 1980s endurance racing and achieved a notable result at the 1989 24 Hours of Le Mans. Hasegawa's kit captures the test car silhouette in 1/24, giving scale modellers the chance to recreate a classic endurance racer.

Period significance and modeller appeal

The C9 was driven by a twin-turbo V8 package that delivered the power required for long-distance events. As a modelling subject, it rewards attention to aerodynamic details and authentic livery application, making it popular among historic racing enthusiasts.

Assembly feel and display potential

Parts fit and surface detail from Hasegawa allow a clean build when parts are prepared and assembled carefully. With decals included, finished models sit well in a collection or on a display shelf emphasising 1980s race engineering.

Yes, many modellers adapt interior bits from compatible 1/24 kits to enhance cockpit realism; check scale and mounting points before modifying.
Use a primer specifically made for polystyrene or a universal model primer in thin coats to avoid obscuring fine moulded detail.
Soak decals briefly, position on a glossy surface, and seal with a clear coat after they dry to protect edges and match the painted finish.
