Get Lucky!!!

Get Lucky!!!
There are people who wait to get lucky, and there are people who go out to get it... So quit waiting and get lucky with your kits with the Lucky Strike decorations by Tabu for the Formula 1 of the sixties and seventies: Lotus Type 49C, Tyrrell 004 and Lotus 72D.

Do you want more? Do you want to add a touch of luck to all your kits? With the Lucky Strike logo decals by Virages... it's a piece of cake!!

Another tobacco flavored glories gambled at the races, such as the NSR500 Hondas of Doohan, Gardner and Lawson sponsored by Rothmans, and the Lotus 72E sponsored by John Player Special, just like they look in the new decals by Tabu.

Studio27 also brings us decals for the Lotus 49 and the Tyrrell 004 that pushed their luck driven by Gunston and Embassy. That was some REAL racing!!

And more four-leaf clovers this week: just arrived from Japan, the photoetches for the F2001 and the Porsche 962C by Studio27; two different electrical connectors references along with the transkit for the most aggressive version of the Nissan GT-R R35 by Hobby Design; and the Nissan Pulsar GTI-R by Reji Model.

We rally lovers got reaaally lucky: ARC (which stands for Amazing Racing Cars, that's a brand name) brings us the decoration used by a young Hannu Mikkola at the Montecarlo Rally in his Datsun Fairlady.

Don't wait for it: find your luck at SpotModel... and don't let it go!! :D
