The Subject: The Toyota MR2

The first MR2, which was sold in 1984, was the first commercial mid-engined sports car of a Japanese automobile manufacturer and won the Japan Car of the Year award in the same year.

In 1986, the late model appeared, and a supercharger and a car equipped with a T-bar roof are set. 

This time,Hasegawa will make a plastic model of the highest grade "G-Limited" of the late model MR2 (1988), with a completely new mould based on thorough actual vehicle research and measurement.
