Hobbytime Review
Mitsubishi Colt Galant GTO (Gran Turismo Omologato) was first shown as the galant gtx-1 showcar at the 1969 Tokyo Motor Show. Sales began in November 1970, the flagship of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries at that time, the flagship of the new Colt Galant Sedan. The name plate was revived for Mitsubishi GTO in 1990, but this name was only used in the Japanese local market.
The exterior of the Colt Galant GTO was previously written by Mitsubishi by Hiroaki Kamisago, who was sent by Mitsubishi to study at Art Center College of Design in California, California. Design contains a long hood from contemporary American strong cars such as Mustang, Firebird and Cougar, a row of elevated rear duck tail and a number of stylistic clues, including round quartet headlights and rear lamps. GTO was the second production car of Mitsubishi's full, opened, side windows and columns.1966 Toyota T40 Series Corona and Mitsubishi's own Galant Hardtop, which was released in the beginning of 1970, and after; GTO was the third Japanese car of this kind.
Mitsubishi Racing Development (Aka Colt Speed) aimed at competing on the prestigious JCCa Grand Prix runway. However, the OPEC Oil embargo in 1973 brought the end of the GP races, so the GTO racing program was shelved. Nevertheless, GTOs were successful in the rally, including the famous Japanese Alp rally.
Initially, three Colt Galant GTO (A53C) models were presented with Saturn motor: M1 (1600 cc sohc, 4-speed single carbohydrate), M2 (1600 cc sohc, 4 gear, twin micuni- total 110 HP (SAE) solex carburetors and 125 ps (92 kW) in Japan (92 KW) version of the 125 ps (92 kW) version (1600 cc) in Japan (92 KW) version MR (1600 CC) Double carbohydrates, dohc five gears) produced.
1970 Galant GTO MR, the highest level version
In February 1972, Mitsubishi increased the power plants by replacing lower powerful versions with a slightly larger (1.7 -liter) version of the Saturn engine. While these cars receiving the A55C chassis code, the dual -cam MRI continued to use the smaller but stronger 4G32 engine until January 1973, when more strict emission standards lost their validity. Later, high -level versions, with a new A57C chassis code, received a completely new astron motor of Mitsubishi's 110 or 125 PS (81 or 92 kW). The product range is now SL (2000 cc single carbohydrate, four or five-speed manual or automatic transmission), GS-5 (2000 cc double carbohydrate, 5-speed manual) Vegsr (2000 cc twin carbohydrate, five-speed manual). The lowest price 1700 SL model remained at 1.7 with 105 PS (77 kW). The arrangement was also a slight make -up to signal a single -piece lath grille with central partition moldings and a slightly make -up to signal the changes consisting of three -piece rear lamps. In addition, the sporty GSR had a wider range of 185 cross -section tires, extended guards and a black -painted rear panel between the lights.
1975 Galant GTO GS; This new grill arrived in 1975
In October 1973, some small adjustments were made in security equipment and automatic transmissions were removed in August 1974. This followed a second style change in which the car gained a honeycomb -style front grille enough to label the car in February 1975. The two -liter GTOs produced after this date also bought Mitsubishi's Silent Shaft System Astron 80 engine, while the four -speed manual transmission was now available only with the smallest engine. In October 1975, the engines were updated with Mitsubishi's MCA emission control system, including an exhaust gas valve and a thermal reactor to cross the upcoming 1976 emission standards. The four -speed transmission was completely stopped, and only five -speed guides remained. The power was now 97 PS (71 kW) for 1700 SL-5 and 105 ps (77 kW) for 2000 SL-5.
GSR was shortly out of use after the change in the late 1975, but in February 1976, it was revived with a cleaner MCA-80 engine, and its power is now fell to 115 PS (85 kW). Three months later, the entire product range received some small external modifications, and GSR received a new, large front air dam with a mirrored "GSR" letter. Although the production continued until 1977 after a relatively long production work, GTO was finally replaced in December 1976 with Galant Lambda/Sapporo.
About Hasegawa
Hasegawa Corporation (株式会社ハセガワ, Kabushiki Gaisha Hasegawa) is a Japanese company that produces plastic model kits of various vehicles, including aircraft, cars, ships, military vehicles, model armor, model spacecraft and science fiction kits.
Hasegawa, headquartered in Shizuoka, does not have such a wide range of products, but competes with his neighbor Tamiya.
First of all, Hasegawa kits that use the polystyrene are typically considered very accurate, but still lack the ease of assembly offered by Tamiya Kits, although it is very high.
Hobbico is imported to North America by the Great Planet Model Distributor Department. Hasegawa ended his long -standing agreement with Dragon Models Limited for US distribution in early 2010. Hasegawa also brings Revell to Japan, which sells them to Japan and sells them under both the Revell brand and their own brand label, and Revell often re -boxes for European and North American markets.
Hasegawa Kits, which do not have their own paint products series, come with instructions that indicate the use of Gunze Sangyo products, especially GSI Creos brand paints. This is contrary to Tamiya, which determines the use of in -house brands.
Hasegawa is known for launching a large number of main products, adding or changing a small number of parts, or changing stickers only for SOE. This strategy allows them to raise the return of their investment in SET tools to the highest level, because the production of such small variations is very low compared to the production cost of the original. Most of such variations are usually published only once.
