Plastic car model kit: Isuzu Bellett 1600GTR "1971 Nippon Grand Prix" 1:24 Hasegawa 20776

A plastic model kit depicting the Japanese sports car Isuzu Bellett 1600GTR in the livery from the 1971 Nippon Grand Prix race. The Isuzu Bellett GTR was one of the most iconic Japanese GT cars of the late 60s and early 70s, known for its lightness and advanced DOHC engine.

The kit from Hasegawa, catalog number 20776, allows for the construction of a replica of the "Big Ben Bellett" vehicle, which took 3rd place in the Touring Car Race during the 1971 Japanese Grand Prix. The model features a dark blue body and a set of dedicated, new plastic parts that faithfully reproduce the racing specification of this example.

Set contents and model features:

• New plastic parts: headlight covers, oil cooler, front bumper spoiler (chin spoiler), side mirrors, and headrests.
• Detailed reproduction of the Isuzu Bellett 1600GTR body lines.
• Racing elements characteristic of 1970s Japanese Grand Prix competitions.
• Decals with starting numbers for the team that took 3rd place in the race.

The Isuzu Bellett 1600GTR, introduced in 1969, was the top version of the Bellett model. Equipped with a 1.6-liter engine with a double overhead camshaft (DOHC), it produced about 120 HP, which, combined with all-wheel independent suspension, made it a formidable competitor on the race tracks. The GTR version still enjoys legendary status among fans of classic Japanese automotive (JDM).

Kit for self-assembly and painting. Does not include paints or glue. Assembly requires separately sold modeling tools (including nippers, files, tweezers), paints, brushes, and plastic model cement (e.g., Tamiya Extra Thin Cement). The photo shows a professionally assembled and painted model.
