Newsletter 139: 24 Heures du Mans
24 Heures du Mans
The 24 Hours of Le Mans, the world's most famous endurance race, is about to begin once again this weekend. Will it be another victory from the invincible Audi? Or will Toyota rise up to the challenge? Or will Porsche achieve a crushing victory in their return to the french tarmac? ;)During the 70's, Porsche swept his competition off Le Mans with the 917 Long Tail, and Model Factory Hiro wants to reminisce those days with the edition of TWO astonishing versions of the Long Tail in 1/12 scale. Fancy one? :D
Besides, and for those of us who take one or two naps while watching the 24 hours, we have this week some other new and VEEEEERY interesting products: the tobacco decals for several F1 Ferraris and McLarens are back in stock (but you'd better be fast!), and the limited editions from Studio27 of the carbon fibre pattern decals for Tamiya's Yamaha YZR and Ducati Desmosedici have just arrived, along with the freshly baked photoetches for the Aoshima and Fujimi F1 GTR Long Tail, and the latest sprays from Tamiya.
You have 24 hours full of temptations ahead... will you resist ALL of them??? :D
