Assemble a faithful 1/24 replica of the 1988 Porsche 911 Turbo

The Tamiya 1/24 model captures the classic lines of the 1988 Porsche 911 Turbo, offering modellers a precise and enjoyable build. The Tamiya 24279 kit is designed to reproduce the car's iconic profile while delivering clear assembly steps for both new and experienced builders.

Heritage and engineering highlights

Porsche introduced the Turbo for road use in 1975, bringing turbocharging to its street cars. The air-cooled flat six produced strong output, initially about 260 horsepower and later boosted to roughly 300 horsepower with a 3.3 litre configuration after 1978. The car's wide arches and substantial rear wing became defining styling cues mirrored in this kit.

What to expect from the build

The kit recreates the 1988 Turbo's wide overfenders and large rear spoiler, with a body shaped to suit extra-wide tyres for an authentic stance. The underside shows engine detail and a separately moulded exhaust assembly. Synthetic rubber tyres feature realistic tread, and metal transfers are included to reproduce mirrors and logos accurately.
