Yes, the front wheels are steerable and can be positioned to enhance the visual appeal of your display.

No. This is a collector's item with small, delicate parts and is intended for display purposes only.

Troubleshooting

Steering mechanism feels stiff

Do not force the wheels. Gently ensure no debris is trapped in the wheel wells and lightly rotate the wheels back and forth to loosen the linkage.

Opening panels do not sit flush

Check for any small obstructions in the door or hood jams. Ensure the hinges are fully seated and not obstructed by dust or packaging material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of historical accuracy and scale realism
  • Beautifully applied Dark Purple Metallic paint finish
  • Functional steering and opening components increase display versatility
  • Carpeted interior adds a layer of premium texture not found in budget models

Cons

  • Requires careful handling due to delicate small parts
  • Not suitable for play by children due to fragility
  • Takes up significant shelf space due to its 1/18 scale size

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your 1/18 Toyota Celica remains in mint condition, handle the model primarily by the chassis rather than the exterior body panels to prevent oil buildup on the paint. Avoid placing the model in direct sunlight, as UV exposure can fade the finish over time. For dusting, use a clean, dry, soft-bristled brush or a static-free microfiber cloth. When moving the model, ensure that all opening parts—doors, hood, and trunk—are fully closed to prevent damage to the hinges. Store the model in a temperature-controlled, dust-free environment such as an acrylic display case.
