Category: Plastic model kit

Scale: 1/24

Tamiya 24337 GAZOO Racing TRD 86 (2013 TRD Rally Challenge) is a high-quality plastic model of a rally car based on the iconic Toyota GT86, prepared by GAZOO Racing and TRD for rally competitions in Japan. This model is produced in a precise 1/24 scale, ensuring perfect proportions and a wealth of details reminiscent of the real rally machine that competed in the 2013 TRD Rally Challenge series. The Tamiya kit faithfully reproduces the characteristic elements of the TRD bodykit, wide bumpers, spoilers, and sporty wheels, as well as the distinctive livery of the GAZOO Racing team, which is the official Toyota factory team participating in many motorsport disciplines.

The GAZOO Racing TRD 86 car was used in contemporary rally competitions in Japan, mainly by Japanese amateur drivers participating in the TRD Rally Challenge series on different surface types. This model debuted in 2012 as a continuation of Toyota's sporting traditions in rally motorsport, and 2013 was a period when the GAZOO Racing team achieved several significant results in national championships.

The model is intended for self-assembly – it is made from high-quality plastic, allowing for precise gluing of individual bodywork, chassis, and interior cockpit parts. The kit includes realistic decals that perfectly capture the team's original markings, as well as a detailed assembly manual that clearly explains each step of construction. The product does not include paints or glue – these are sold separately.

I recommend the Tamiya 24337 model to all motorsport enthusiasts, especially fans of rallying and Japanese automotive engineering. It's an excellent choice for intermediate modelers as well as Toyota brand fans. The model requires moderate experience – we rate the build difficulty as 3 out of 5. Thanks to its sharp details, rich documentation, and the potential to create an impressive rally diorama, it is a great addition to any modeler’s collection.
