Tamiya 1/24 RENAULT 5 TURBO RALLY

The Renault 5 Turbo was a special version of the inimitable 5, developed for rally races. With a 1.4-liter inline-4 turbo engine in place of the rear seats the Turbo had a midship setup and was equipped with reinforced 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension. Its 3-door hatchback body used lightweight aluminum and plastic panels across the board, and with bulging overfenders, integrated bumper air dam skirts and a roof spoiler, its appearance was a significant departure from the original Renault 5. The works car won the first global rally of 1981 and was a familiar sight near the top of timesheets thereafter. This is a 1/24 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 156mm, width: 74mm, height: 57mm. The sporty form with bulging fenders and rear spoiler, plus quad spotlights and roll cage is captured in style. Driver and navigator figures are also included. A realistic depiction of the torsion bar front suspension adds life to the underside of the model. Slick tires are solid synt
