Celebrate a classic of Group 5 racing with the Tamiya 1/20 Celica LB Turbo Gr.5 plastic model kit (HC-20072). Based on the 1978 release, this non-motorised edition recreates the Toyota Celica Liftback racer campaigned in the 1977 DRM, complete with new Cartograf decals, new slick tyres and an instruction manual. At 1/20 scale, the finished model measures 240mm long, 105mm wide and 61mm high.

The kit captures the aggressively flared bodywork, FRP-style panels and prominent rear wing associated with the period machine that famously scored its maiden victory in October 1977, defeating the Porsche 935. Detailed renderings of the inline-4 DOHC turbo engine and roll-caged cockpit are included, with the front cowl designed to be removed to showcase the powerplant.

This model kit in 1/20 scale recreates the Toyota Celica LB Turbo Gr. 5 (originally sold as Item 20009 in 1978; not motorized this time) with new Cartograf decals, new slick tires, and instruction manual. The Toyota Celica LB Turbo was a Group 5 car developed for the 1977 DRM (German Racing Championship). Based upon the road car Celica Liftback, the car featured aerodynamic components such as bulging over fenders and rear wing and employed numerous FRP body panels. An extensively modified body and 2,090cc, 560hp inline-4 DOHC turbo engine were utilized for its racing endeavours. This car made its debut in July 1977, and in October of the same year, it beat the Porsche 935 and achieved its maiden victory.
