Italeri 3659 Porsche 944 S (1/24) – plastic model kit

The Italeri 3659 Porsche 944 S model in 1/24 scale is an excellent choice for automotive enthusiasts and collectors of 1980s sports car models. The precisely replicated kit from the renowned Italian manufacturer Italeri allows you to build a faithful miniature of one of the most distinctive Porsche coupes, which gained recognition in both Europe and North America.

The Porsche 944 S is a model based on the legendary 944, produced by the German brand Porsche in the years 1987-1988. The "S" denotes a sport version, upgraded with a 16-valve four-cylinder 2.5-liter engine generating 190 HP. This car bridged the gap between the standard 944 and the top 944 Turbo, combining comfortable everyday use with dynamic features so popular during the Cold War era and the classic motoring period. The model enjoyed its greatest popularity in Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, and among sports car enthusiasts in Italy and France.

The set includes a plastic model kit requiring self-assembly. The high quality of the sprues was achieved with injection molding technology, ensuring precise details, realistic body shape reproduction, and interior elements. The model does not contain metal or resin parts; however, perforated rims, dashboard details, and a clear decal sheet allow for a faithful recreation of the real Porsche 944 S. The body is made from durable plastic, resistant to assembly damage and allowing smooth sanding and painting.
