Tamiya 24293 1/24 Scale Open Interface SC430 Collector Build Kit  [24293]

Open Interface SC430 by Tamiya 24293 - A Builder's Tribute

The Tamiya 1/24 Open Interface SC430 model replicates the car that took the 2006 Super GT crown. Representing the Lexus SC430 that replaced the Supra, it recalls the on-track efforts of Juichi Wakisaka and Andre Lotterer and their season-defining performance at Fuji Speedway.

Season Story and Racing Impact

The 2006 season demonstrated the SC430's racecraft and durability. Consistent pace and smart team work helped the car stand out among rivals, and this kit captures the significance of that era for enthusiasts and modellers alike.

Construction Highlights and Fitment

The kit is geared toward detail-focused hobbyists. It includes a pre-painted semi-gloss black die-cast underpanel to add realism and mass. Metal transfers recreate polished surfaces and badges, while the clear windows with black masking stickers provide authentic tinted looks. Nylon mesh for the front intake and realistic synthetic rubber tyres enhance the overall presentation.

Enhancing the Build

For extra precision, builders can buy the SC430 Photo-Etched Parts Set separately to add fine metal details and elevate the finished appearance.
