featuring JDM plastic model cars, and more!
Welcome to jdm24scale.com
Hello everyone, jdm24scale is dedicated to my hobby; that of assembling 1/24 scale Japanese model cars. Since I was a young boy I used to buy 1/24 scale diecast cars and take them apart right after so that I could add small details to make them unique. As I grew older, my passion moved to the larger 1/18 scale where I started to completely modify these, making them as different as possible. Modifications that time included scratch-built body kits, new spray, interior modifications, different wheels and engine detailing. As time passed by, in real life I was getting more interested in Japanese cars and finally at the beginning of 2008 I decided to turn my model car attention to these cars coming from the East! With this I decided to do an even bigger change too: going from 1/18 scale diecast to 1/24 scale plastic model kits.
This website also features a Reviews section, where I post my own opinions and pictures about kits or accessories I buy for my builds. These are intended to help other modellers get to know exactly what a certain product contents are. Another section is dedicated to Tutorials, where I post detailed descriptions about the procedures I follow while building my kits.
While hoping you'll enjoy your visit at jdm24scale.com, please feel free to sign my guestbook with comments and/or suggestions on my work and about the site, thus helping me to improve both my modelling skills and the website itself.
Thanks for looking,

28 June 2018 - New Copen update!
The little Copen received some pins to help me install the side mirrors and rear spoiler easier once the body is airbrushed. Also, I have added a new front spoiler after realizing that the side-skirts sit lower than the front bumper!
22 June 2018 - New Review
I have just added a new review to the collection! This time I'm having a closer look at the 16inch Volk Racing TE37 wheels from Aoshima. Click on the picture to see this new update.
18 June 2018 - Copen update
Another Copen update! Time to start preparing the body for primer. But before, I did a couple modifications which are: narrowing the inner arches, opening the molded meshes of both bumpers and modifying the side-skirts too.
11 June 2018 - First Copen update
First update on the Copen project! I have chosen the wheel set-up I shall be using: Aoshima 16" TE37 rims together with ZoomOn stretch tires. Was a bit of a challenge to fit them inside the narrow arches, but with some work they're in! Check this out...
