Lexus LFA Tested: Tamiya vs. Photo-Etched Luxury in 1:24 Scale

We were captivated by the Tamiya 24319 Lexus LFA V10 SV, eager to see how this 1:24 scale model blended precision engineering with photo-etched detail. The sleek silhouette captures the car’s aggressive design, while the V10 SV paint job gleams with authentic vibrancy. Beneath the surface, however, the photo-etched accents elevate the experience. Our assessments revealed meticulous craftsmanship; the delicate brake callipers, headlight textures, and grille details are breathtakingly refined. The included display stand further enhances the presentation, making it a standout piece for any collector. Though some assembly is required, the effort is justified by the model’s stunning realism. We appreciate how Tamiya balances build quality with visual flair, making this a must-have for automotive enthusiasts and modelers alike.
