MFH May 2022 Re-releases

The month of May is slipping through our fingers, but there are still a few days left and there is still time to preorder some of the fantastic 1/12 scale models that MFH reissues. The list is really sweet: Porsche 917K, Alfa Romeo 159, Ferrari 256F1, Lancia 037 Rally and Ferrari 126C2. Run to preorder yours if you want it because they are very limited units and on May 31st they will stop accepting orders!!!

Bob Letterman

The most veterans of the place will remember those photographs of fantastic "superdioramas" in Verlinden or FineScale Modeler publications 40 years ago, with a thousand and one details, completely innovative in techniques, details and concept. For sure you smiled unconsciously while remembering them, right? How many summer afternoons have you been enjoying with those dioramas? :D

Worship

At SpotModel we are lucky to love our work. We are scale modellers who work in a warehouse full of scale models and material to assemble them, paint them, detail them... what else can you ask for? :D

KMP is back!!!

We are pleased to announce that finally, after a long wait of more than six months... KMP is back!!! During this time KMP has evolved as a company, it has improved its internal processes, it has matured in the commercial relationship with SpotModel, it has opened collaborations with highly qualified professionals and is expanding the product range to new fields, such as Formula 1. In short, all great news.

A long long time ago...

Back in the Paleolithic, the human being already began to dedicate part of his time to modify elements that he found in nature to turn them into tools that would facilitate his life. We can perfectly imagine that man or woman sharpening stones or bones, giving them the desired shape to obtain knives, arrowheads or needles to sew skins. Wasn't this a form of modeling? The first way of modeling, we want to think :)

"If they're here it's because we've ordered them, that's obvious, but what we didn't expect is that they all arrived at the very same time! XD" declared earlier an employee at SpotModel :-)

D.Modelkits

Some time ago we began to hear that a new brand called D.Modelkits was preparing to release the plastic model of the Ford Sierra Cosworth 4x4 in both Monte Carlo 1991 and 1992 Portugal Rally versions. Since then we have all been impatient and eager to know more details but it has not been until today that we have been able to see the very first pictures of the assembled models and their exploded views. And everything looks awesome!!!

What's up, Doc?

This week we have a strange novelty at SpotModel: the Tamiya Wolf WR1 in 1/20 scale, when EVERYONE knows that the 2010 reedition of this scale model was discontinued a few years ago.

Open hearted!

That 3D printing is becoming more and more present in scale modeling was already very clear to us, and also that it is a technology that is here to stay, but what has just arrived to us from GPmodeling is going to mark a before and after. Attention everyone, three engines for three legendary Italian cars: Lancia 037, Lancia Delta and Fiat 131!!! That's just crazy!!! :D

MEKO

Until this morning we didn't know what "MEKO" meant, but in this newsletter we are going to explain it to you. There is a chemical substance called "BUTANONE OXIME" (Methyl Ethyl Ketoxime, MEKO; CAS 96-29-7) which is known in the chemical world as "MEKO".
