Twenty times happier

What is happiness? What is it made of? What makes us happy? And an even more complicated question: what can make us 20 times happier? Don't worry guys, at SpotModel we have the answer to these complex questions.

Eleanor

For motorsport lovers, the elegant and suggestive name of Eleanor undoubtedly makes us think of one of Carroll Shelby's machines that, fitted with a V8 engine with TONS of horsepower, is an icon of American motorsports. You have to admit that you'd like to have one (or two!) in your garage.

MG Metro 6R4

Since we heard the news, we have lived with the illusion of knowing that the lads at Belkits were working on the release of the MG Metro 6R4 kit. For their part, Decalcas, Renaissance and Reji have already announced several decals for this peculiar car, and a few weeks ago the book by Komakai landed on the shelves with an impressive display of pictures of the engine, interior, body and every single detail of the actual car. And today, the model is FIIIIIIINALLY in our hands :D

Dragster

Last week we wrote you about Salvinos JR Models and this week we are still in the US to talk about some curious racing machines, plenty of horsepower, blowers of flames and smoke, that roar prodigiously and look absolutely spectacular. We are talking about the dragsters.

Salvinos JR Models

Kirk Encinas, Jake Encinas and Eric Ledesma are true car fans, specially about racing cars, and above all, about American racing cars. In addition, they build scale models like crazy. Their passion for American racing cars and modeling has led them to make a big dream called Salvinos JR Models come true.

Dakar '86

The Dakar rally is one of the toughest, most complex and unpredictable races on the planet. Every year it captivates us and takes us to remote places where the drivers and their machines fight against the heat, the sand, stones, hardships, surprises and even snow, as happened in the 1986 edition, a particularly complex year.

Crashhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Last Saturday and part of Sunday, we couldn't dedicate ourselves to assembling models because the SpotModel web server issued a series of puzzling "zeros" and "ones", something like 0110100100010111010, which translated into human language means something like "crashhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"... Our website "went kaput" and we had to put aside our favorite hobby to grab the wrench and fix the problem.

Hans Mezger

He designed the Porsche 917. He was also who created the heart of the brand's fastest and most emblematic Porsches: the engine of the Porsche 911, or the Mezger engine as it is usually called, the Porsche TAG engines that powered the 1980s McLaren, even the engines of the 936, 935, 956 and 962... The mechanical hearts that give life to these gorgeous machines roar sadly today because their designer, Hans Mezger, passed away a few days ago at the age of 90.

Sanding sponges

A few months ago we announced SpotModel's sanding sponges, in several different grains, because it seemed us a great solution to prepare bodies and refining paint. Now, it turns out that some lads from the Far East have seen that the product is amazing and have launched their own version under their prestigious brand. None less than Tamiya has put on the market their own range of sanding sponges, with different grains, so that you can enjoy sanding after sanding. But for this time, we will not ask them for royalties... XD

From time to time, in our civil scale modeling world, the debate about "renewal" opens up and immediately the argument of "everything is already invented" appears. Well, gentlemen, we do not agree, there are still many things to invent. It is true that some veteran brands have settled in and live by reissuing their old models, but there are new ones that bring a breath of fresh air and the desire to do different, curious and even daring things. One of those brands is Meng, who surprised us a while ago with several models of SUVs, just to announce a bit later a model in the unusual 1/9 scale of a motorcycle that was offered in both a "classic" version and in "pre-painted" version.
