Build a stylish Japanese classic with the 1:24 Tamiya 24378 Nissan Leopard 2-Door Hardtop 280X SF-L. This plastic model kit recreates the luxurious 1980 two-door hardtop as a detailed display model. Tamiya combines its distinctive body styling with a finely recreated luxury interior, authentic chassis underside and special details including a movable sunroof.

The Nissan Leopard was introduced in 1980 as a Japanese upper mid-size passenger car and remained in production across four generations until 1999. Nissan developed the Leopard as an addition to the Laurel range, with the first generation designed to compete with cars such as the Toyota Chaser. Initially aimed primarily at the Japanese domestic market, exports soon followed. Later generations used a chassis developed for the Nissan Cedric and Gloria.

Introduced in September 1980, the 280X SF-L was the top grade in the Leopard line-up. Its elegant 2-Door Hardtop featured flush joints between the windows and body panels. Under the bonnet was a 2,800cc inline-six DOHC engine producing 145hp. A luxurious interior with leather seats and advanced technology for the period, including a drive-computer, helped establish the Leopard as a pioneer of Japanese personal luxury cars.

This Tamiya kit is an updated re-issue from the company's back catalogue with revised decals and an updated instruction manual. While the original kit featured motorisation, the 2026 re-issue is a standalone display model. Once assembled, it measures 193mm long, 75mm wide and 56mm high. Metal-plated wheels with realistic synthetic rubber tyres, new metal transfers for the mirror surfaces and an included seated figure complete the model.
