Tamiya Lotus Europa Special (1:24 Scale)

Marking a welcome return after a decade, this Tamiya Lotus Europa Special model kit revisits the earlier release (item 24212) with a series of updates. The Lotus Europa Special was the final version of the Europa, produced during the model’s 1966–1972 run, and its sleek, low body is reproduced here in 1/24 scale. With an emphasis on authentic structure and mechanical detail, it offers an absorbing build for adult constructors and a rewarding addition to a classic sports car collection.

The plastic model assembly kit measures 168mm in length and 73mm in width, and includes a removable hood so the engine remains visible after completion. Details extend to the rear-mounted twin carburettor, 5-speed transmission and shift linkage, complemented by new metal air funnels. Updates also include redesigned decals, a new instruction manual, and a mix of photo-etched and transfer details for a crisp finish.
