Classic Minolta Toyota 88C-V in 1/24 Scale

The Tamiya 24079 captures the Minolta Toyota 88C-V, a distinctive late 1980s sports prototype recognised for its streamlined body and the R32V 3.2-liter twin-turbocharged V8. The kit is aimed at modellers who value period-correct detail and realistic presentation.

Construction and Showcase Notes

This 1/24 scale assembly includes a removable rear body section to reveal the intricately modelled V8 engine and its turbo components. Attention is given to the intercooler, oil cooler and the inboard rear suspension geometry, while the cockpit features a detailed dash, steering wheel and racing seat for a true-to-life interior.

Livery Decals and Paint Masks

The kit includes Cartograf decals for accurate sponsor artwork and numbers plus masking stickers to aid precise paintwork. Marked tyre sidewalls complete the authentic race-ready appearance.

  • Scale: 1/24
  • Length: 201mm
  • Engine: Detailed V8 with turbo units
  • Rear Suspension: Inboard dampers, pushrods, rocker arms
  • Decals: High-quality Cartograf

What tools are recommended to assemble this kit?

Basic modelling tools such as sprue cutters, fine files, hobby knife, plastic cement and fine brushes are essential. For small details, tweezers and magnification will help with precise placement.

Is the cockpit detailed enough for display without upgrades?

Yes, the cockpit includes a realistic dashboard, steering wheel and bucket seat that look authentic at 1/24 scale, though some builders choose to add fine paintwork or photo-etched seatbelts for extra realism.

Are replacement decals available if I damage the sheet?

Replacement decal availability varies by retailer; contact your parts supplier or check with Tamiya support for spare decal sheets or printed repro options.
