Shizuoka 2021

The largest event for worldwide scale modeling manufacturers has been held in Shizuoka for no less than 59 years. This year has been a little strange due to the circumstances that are limiting us all, but that has not detracted anything from the event. So let's cut the introduction and let's go directly to what interests us... cars and motorcycles scale models!!!

Contacta clear

Today we are not going to talk about cars, motorcycles or drivers, today we are going to introduce you a new product just arrived that we LOVED, so we felt like it deserved to be highlighted. It is called Contacta Clear by Revell and it is an acrylic glue that dries completely transparent. It surprises at first sight due to its density, it is served in a bottle with 20 grams of product (about 17ml) and it also includes an application brush on the lid.

Color flares

Like a cool summer breeze... that's how we have welcomed the new Number Five paints at SpotModel. With an eye-catching packaging and with different product ranges, the little bottles are parading in front of our excited eyes while an unstoppable desire to storm out of the office and try them is growing inside us, because they look REALLY good.

King of the Hill

Bobby Unser might not be well known outside of North America, but he is quite a legend there. He won the USAC National Championships and CART in 1968 and 1974, and was runner-up in 1970, 1979 and 1980, and third in 1967, 1969, and 1975. He won the Indianapolis 500 Miles in 1968, 1975, and 1981, and finished second in 1974, third in 1969, fifth in 1979 and sixth in 1978. He won the Pocono 500 Miles in 1980 and the Ontario 500 Miles in 1974, 1976, 1979 and 1980. In the Indy he obtained a total of 35 scoring victories and 83 podiums, and he triumphed at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb thirteen times....

Full throttle

Our custom decal printing service works non-stop and we wanted to thank you once again for trusting us. The Print Lab was an idea that we started with great enthusiasm and hopes, but knowing how you, our dear customers, would react to it was a true mystery. And honestly, it is a great pleasure to see how you put the very same enthusiasm and hopes into it :)

Paint and Go!

Sometimes we think that we have seen everything as far as the scale modeling scene is concerned, yet luckily new things keep appearing to surprise us. This week the award goes to Decalcas for the latest idea they had, really simple but at the same time very useful for all of use who seek to get down the ultimate detail, and also for those of us who seek productivity in our assemblies.

Garelli 125

Back in the 80s, the seasoned Angel Nieto kept us glued to the TV Sunday after Sunday to see how he fought for every victory at the handle bars of the Garelli 125. Just in 1982, he started nine races and managed to climb six times to the top of the podium. Year 1983 came and again he won six of the 10 races that he entered. And he didn't win even more times due to the repeated failuerse of a spark plug...

MPower!

Four cylinders, horsepower, an spectacular sound, no catalyst, and silver letters decorating the cylinder head that speak for themselves: BMW MPower. Music for our ears!!!

R nineT

If you, like us, get goosebumps when you hear a boxer engine pass by and you also like modern motorcycles with a retro look, we are really lucky because today's headline is the announcement by Meng of the release of the BMW R nineT in 1/9 scale. Goosebumps everywhere!!

And the winner is...

The final standings of this year's edition of the Virtual Jabekke was announced a few days ago, an event that has brought together modelers from all over the world in a "virtual" way with a total and resounding success in both assistance and organization. Thanks to each and every one who made this dream possible!!!
