Toyota Celica LB Turbo Gr. 5 -DRM 1977

This is a scale model kit to be assembled by an adult; it includes all the parts as indicated, but it does not include glue or paints, that you can also buy at DModelkits Store.

Tamiya continues announcing new reissues, this time with another spectacular Group 5 model: the Toyota Celica LB Turbo, which competed in the German Touring Car Championship (DRM) in the late 1970s.

This 1:24 scale plastic model assembly kit recreates the Toyota Celica LB Turbo Gr.5 with the stretched proportions and aerodynamic add-ons that made the racing car so distinctive.

Wide fenders and a large rear wing shape the silhouette, while the finished dimensions of 192 mm x 87 mm x 52 mm give the model a strong shelf presence.

The build focuses on visible race-car structure as much as outer form.

Inside, the cockpit is rendered with a roll cage, and the underside carries separate chassis detail that stays interesting even after assembly.

Suspension features are also reproduced, giving the model more to study than the body alone.

Mesh wheels and solid synthetic rubber slick tires complete the competition look with the right contrast between spoke pattern and tire surface.

Cartograf decals provide crisp markings, and the set also contains 1 driver figure plus 2 car numbers for a more defined finishing scheme.

On the worktable, the kit suits careful painting, decal placement and detail picking across body, cabin and underside.

Once completed, the Celica works equally well as a display model that rewards close viewing from the front, side and low rear angle.
