Tools

We tool fans have always believed that it is essential to have good allies at the workbench for taking our beloved projects to an end more easily or with more precision. And for we all, it is known that Tamiya is just in a different league than the majority of the other modeling tools manufacturers in terms of precision, product quality, durability, and quality of the manufacturing materials, as it happens with the rest of the products with which Tamiya makes our lives as scale modelers happier.

Jabbeke on the road!!!

Everything is ready: luggage, SpotModel stickers, toothbrush, and most importantly... the immense desire of meeting our European scale model builders and chat about models, see models, enjoy models, and even throw ourselves some models to our heads... :)

Profil - Beemax - Nunu

We have been insisting for weeks that this year is incredibly hot scalemodel wise, so we are going to continue giving you more details on some of the announced releases. Let's start with Profil24: these lads are still betting on the 1/12 scale model kits, really big and spectacular, as well as very nice to assemble. Their newest kit is the Porsche 911 RSR in two versions as it raced at Le Mans last year 2018.

Italeri Preview 2019

We already announced on our Facebook page a few days ago the mountain of novelties planned by Italeri for 2019, and in the previous newsletter we already advanced some of them.

Panigale Anniversario

It's not an aircraft, but we are sure that it will fly as well... So we ask you all to pay close attention because Pocher is going to put on the market 2,000 units of the Ducati 1299 Panigale S Anniversary in 1/4 scale, of course in kit format for you to build. And we are convinced that they will sold out even before the official release date, scheduled for September.

Full suitcase

We have just returned from the German Toy Fair with a suitcase full of soooooo many news for you. The amount of products that we have to activate on the site is so big that we have not processed all of them yet, so we ask for a little patience, one of the greatest virtues we modelers have: waiting patiently for one putty part to dry, or for the clearcoat layer of a body, or for SpotModel to tell us the news for this year :)

Nüremberg

This week part of the SpotModel staff is on its way to the Nuremberg International Toy Fair where the most powerful manufacturers in the market usually announce their newest products, and which of course is a must for SpotModel.

TS050

Pop quiz: which Japanese car, winner of the world's biggest GT race driven by a Spaniard, is going to see the light soon in 1/24 scale by the hands of Tamiya?

Brutality

On one hand a machine of the 80's, with the brutality of his 480 declared horsepower (up to 900hp in some tests) out from an 1800cc engine, which won the laurels in the most important rallies all around the world.

Licenses

In the scale modeling scene there are some important issues that are beyond our workbenches. One of these important issues are the "licenses" granted by actual car and motorcycle manufacturers to the manufacturers of our beloved models, so they can reproduce and market their models.
