Niki

One month ago we were all sadly surprised by the news: Niki Lauda, the great Austrian tri-champion Formula 1 driver, left us. His first victory happened in Spain in 1974 behind the wheel of a Ferrari 312 B3, the same one we talked about at SpotModel's blog a while ago. Since then, he gifted us spectacle and emotion in almost 200 races. A great guy with impressive driving skills.

Depending on your time zone, now it is 24 hours (more or less) before the start of what embodies, without any doubts, the biggest annual event in the world of endurance races: the incredible 24 Hours of Le Mans, taking place at the La Sarthe circuit long before most of us were born :D

Blue Stuff

In our tireless effort to put at your disposal all the interesting stuff that is appearing, as far as civilian modeling is concerned, this week we bring good news again. Or, in other words, this week we continue expanding our already long list of manufacturers :D

There is an expression in Spanish that says "El que la sigue la consigue" (if you persevere, you'll finally get it). It means that whoever wants something, if they work really hard, they will finally achieve it. It is a wonderful phrase that motivates and promises a happy ending to all those who strive every day to fulfill their goals and desires.

A looong, long time ago...

...scale modelers could not print their own decals with enough quality, and depended on the manufacturers to design their favorite decorations, praying and praying day after day and night after night, hoping that some day they would release their decals to the market.

A few months ago, and live from Nuremberg Toy Fair, we told you about the wonderful Toyota's TS050 Hybrid scale model kit that Tamiya presented at the event, and today we have it for you in stock at SpotModel warehouse!!!! Go go go, hurry up, they are all warmed up and waiting for your order :D

This Way Up

In the world of logistics and warehousing, the message "This Way Up" refers to how the boxes should be placed and stacked to avoid damaging their content, but for us modelers this phrase also carries another meaning, being the name of a prestigious brand of white metal scale models in 1/43 scale of Formula 1 cars. Sadly, the brand closed a few years ago after its owner passed away.

Decalcas has done it again: they have turned the boss speechless once again, the one who is always bragging about having seen it all in the modeling world (haha), and yet today we have seen him eyes wide open, jaw dropped, mouth drooling and with goosebumps all over...

Raid-Sur

This week we talk about adventure, passion for classic vehicles and solidarity: we talk about the "Raid-Sur Classic" (www.raidsurclassic.com). A few days ago, this particular rally was held at Morocco where lots of "old" cars raced, but beyond this, they also fulfilled the true objective of this unforgettable experience: distributing non-perishable food, clothing, footwear, school equipment or toys to the inhabitants of the areas where the race passes through.

Michèle Mouton

Nobody doubts that one of the most influential women in the racing world is Michèle Mouton. In her young years she became the most famous and successful rally driver of all time, winning at San Remo, Portugal, Acropolis and Brazil....
