27033S Eclipse GS Green Model Car Building Set | 390 PCS

Eclipse GS Green Model Car — Brian O'Conner's First Ride

This 390-piece display set captures the Mitsubishi Eclipse GS — the car that launched a global phenomenon when Paul Walker's Brian O'Conner drove it in the original "The Fast and the Furious" (2001). In its distinctive green with custom body kit, this compact model is a tribute to the film that single-handedly brought import tuning culture into the mainstream.

The Real Machine

The Mitsubishi Eclipse GS featured in the original Fast & Furious wasn't the fastest car in the movie, but it was the most important. Brian O'Conner's green Eclipse — actually a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated model, not the turbo GSX — was equipped with a custom Robo Car body kit, a 75-horsepower nitrous oxide system, and custom carbon fiber components. It was the car that took Brian into the underground street racing world and introduced millions of moviegoers to the import tuner scene — neon underglow, body kits, rear wings, and the culture of building fast cars from affordable Japanese imports. The real filming car now sits in a Tennessee museum. The Eclipse itself (1989-2011) was Mitsubishi's sporty coupe, available with turbocharged all-wheel drive in GSX trim, but it was the movie that transformed it from a competent sports car into a cultural icon. The Fast & Furious franchise has generated over $7 billion globally, and it all started with a green Eclipse.

Design & Build

At 390 pieces, this compact model captures the movie Eclipse's distinctive green finish, custom body kit, and the modified appearance that made it instantly recognizable to millions of Fast & Furious fans. The tuner aesthetic — low stance, body kit, rear spoiler — is well-represented at this display scale.

What Builders Love

• Fast & Furious origin car — This is where the $7 billion franchise began; maximum cultural significance
• Paul Walker tribute — The Eclipse was Brian O'Conner's introduction to street racing; it carries genuine emotional weight for fans
• Import tuner culture — This model represents an entire automotive subculture that the movie popularized
• Quick build — 390 pieces deliver the Fast & Furious experience in a single session

Worth Considering

• Compact model — Limited detail at 390 pieces
• Movie-specific appeal — The Eclipse's significance is tied entirely to Fast & Furious; without that context, it's a modest sports car

The Bottom Line

The Eclipse GS is where it all started — the car that launched the most successful automotive film franchise in history and brought import tuner culture to a global audience. This 390-piece model in its iconic green finish is a compact tribute to Paul Walker, to underground street racing culture, and to the moment when a $7 billion franchise began with a green Mitsubishi and a dream of living life a quarter mile at a time.
