Hasegawa HC34 1/24 Mitsubishi Lancer EX 1800GSR Turbo Model

Introducing the Hasegawa 1/24 scale plastic model kit of the Historic Car Series Mitsubishi Lancer EX 1800GSR Turbo (Intercooler). Launched in 1981, the Lancer EX Turbo was introduced as part of the second generation Lancer lineup. Some minor modifications were made in 1983, which included an updated front grille and the addition of an air-cooled intercooler turbo, features that contributed to its rising popularity. This concept of a compact 4-door sedan equipped with a powerful engine laid the groundwork for the subsequent Lancer Evolution.

This model kit has been designed using a completely new mold, ensuring a precise representation of the actual vehicle. Body parts come in "white," while the interiors of the headlights, tail lights, and mirror surfaces are crafted from plated components. It is important to note that the model requires both assembly and painting to bring it to life. To complete the assembly, additional items such as adhesives, tools, and paints will be necessary, and these are sold separately.

The finished dimensions of this model are approximately 7.0 x 3.0 inches (177.5 x 76 mm). The kit showcases the "late type" of intercooler, reflecting a meticulous approach to detail based on a comprehensive examination of the genuine vehicle. This plastic model is suitable for enthusiasts aged 14 and older, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced modelers.

It’s worth noting that the term "Plastic Model" is a registered trademark, owned by the Japan Plastic Model Industrial Cooperative Association. This model serves as a fascinating piece for collectors and hobbyists alike, combining the thrill of assembly with the opportunity for personalized painting and detailing.

Whether you’re a seasoned model builder or just starting out, the Hasegawa Mitsubishi Lancer EX 1800GSR Turbo provides a rewarding experience. With its robust design and intricate details, it serves not just as a model to assemble, but also as a tribute to a significant part of automotive history. Be prepared to enhance your creative skills as you dive into the world of plastic modeling with this remarkable kit.
