Porsche 944 Turbo Cup Blaupunkt 1:24

Porsche 944 Turbo Cup Blaupunkt 1:24 by Hasegawa

Porsche ran a one-make series for the 944 Turbo for four seasons from 1986 to 1989 and one claim to fame is that it was the first championship to mandate the use of catalytic convertors. The car modelled appears to be a press launch machine and a very similarly liveried example survives in the Porsche museum. It’s certainly a colourful machine with the pink panels included on the decals to be applied over a white base finish. The kit parts include a fair level of detail with a turbo-charged four-cylinder engine beneath an opening bonnet, suspension on display underneath and a race specification cabin.
