    Hasegawa brings us a newly tooled kit of the classic BMW 2002 tii in 1/24th scale! Manufactured starting from 1971, the 2002 tii model BMW featured a 2.0L fuel-injected four cylinder engine rated at 130hp. Hasegawa’s nicely detailed new curbside-kit (no engine included) will feature two types of side-view mirrors, two different front bumper styles with the detail and fit and finish that Hasegawa are famous for!Molded in white, gray, clear, black and chrome-colored plastic; includes decals and soft tires. 


    Interesting that they only have a cad model rendering of it - too new to have any built ones yet?

    I assume those are original 13" wheels. Would be nice to lower it a bit at least.

    I tried hard to find an accurate Signal Orange or Signal Yellow for a 911 and couldn't get there, changed plans. I wonder if that classic BMW orange (forget the name) is available.


    oh...EDIT.....Available June 2017. Better save up my Yen.


    I think the orange your looking for INKA

    What does curbside mean?

    HRM, Scale Motorsport, these are sweet. Gunze? Never built one of those.

    I am interested in this kit, but I am not familiar with their work. The site looks very good as do the info and photos. But at the price this kit is I am a bit cautious about a big investment.I am sure many of you have built their stuff? Value for the money? Quality?I see also they do some big st...


    I see there is some scale / proportion problem with this Gunze kit. WAY way off. Someone suggested it could be from taking lines off a kit car or replica instead of a real Daytona.

    So it's getting to be around that time of year again. The actual show itself is May 11th-14th, but the pre-orders for new products are starting to trickle out, starting with Hasegawa.
