1/24 1987 Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-Z SnapLoc Kit Tamiya #24072 Shrink Wrap MISB

Description

I need to clear some space on my shelves, so I need to part with some of my collection. The Toyota Sprinter may not be widely known or recognized in the US, but there have been eight generations of the Sprinter fielded by Toyota. The Sprinter is a sibling to the Corolla. This kit represents the Trueno GT-Z version of the sixth generation of Sprinter from 1987. The US had a similar version that was called the Corolla Sport SR5 Coupe. This kit naturally depicts a car from Japan with the steering wheel on the right side. It has been engineered as a Snap-Loc kit that doesn’t need cement to assemble.
I could only find a handful of listings on eBay (several from Japan for over 0!) but
as a Top Rated Plus US Seller I can reliably ship this rare kit to you very quickly.
Here is what I have found online about this unique kit:
The Tamiya site has a single photo of a finished kit and gives the following brief highlights about this marvelous kit:
1/24 scale assembly kit of the Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-Z sports coupe. This model was part of Toyota’s highly popular Corolla/Sprinter series.
·
Model features Snap-Loc construction. No cement is required for assembly.
·
Tires with realistic tread pattern included.
Scalemates.com has a listing that shows the box art and verifies that this is a new tool from 1988. There is a link to one nifty gallery to see how nice this can come out, but they give us almost nothing else of value.
The kit is in a colorful and sturdy box about 11.5” x 7.5” x 2”.
As you can see from the pictures, the kit is in pristine condition and is still in the original shrink wrap, so it is
factory sealed and absolutely gift-ready.
This item contains highly detailed plastic and vinyl parts to create your very own 1987 Sprinter Trueno GT-Z sedan with Snap-Loc assembly. It requires paint to complete as shown, but cement is optional. I use eBay Managed Payments, but I no longer ship internationally. Auction winner pays the winning bid, and for a limited time, I am offering this hard-to-find item with
Flat Rate Shipping in the US!

Those familiar with my listings can tell that I really enjoy these products and the modeling hobby. I like to provide more than just the bare facts about the items, trying to lead you into discovering more about the subjects and optimizing your builds (if that is your goal). I started out picking up models that I was interested in, with the eye toward building them when I had time. Always a bargain-hunter, I accumulated many more than I can build, so I found myself in a Collector status (sounds nicer than a hoarder).
As I am sure you have noticed, my items are almost always sealed and in mint condition (I call them Gift-Ready), since I only open them when I am ready to build them. Now I enjoy making these products available to my fellow modelers; both Builders and Collectors. For the Builders, there are probably better (at least cheaper) ways to add to your project lists than buying from me, but you know you are getting top quality. For Collectors, my goal is to save you a few bucks over the competition for the same item in factory sealed and collectible (or resellable) condition.
