Equipped with a 6-cylinder diesel engine, the MAN 26.321 was developed to meet the demands of the most modern truck drivers. Its variant with a reinforced chassis allowed the mounting of a second axle at the rear. This is precisely the version that Italeri allows us to reproduce with this reference which, as is usual for this manufacturer, has a complete breakdown of the engine and chassis area, apart from its detailed cabin. Other aesthetic elements present in the model are the large horns, the different aerodynamic appendages and the characteristic spoiler on the roof of the cabin.

The brand new Mercedes AMG GT3 that Tamiya has reproduced with exquisite precision in 1/24 scale. When you open the box you will enjoy quality everywhere. The body is magnificently injected, the breakdown is very complete, the rims are impressive, and the sockets have the unmistakable stamp of Tamiya. Besides, details that always help, such as the masks to paint the crystals, or transferable for metallic elements such as the stars of the Mercedes emblem or the crystals of the mirrors. To enjoy!

A new release by Profil24, this time the Aston Martin V8 Vantage GTE that racd the 24 Hours of LeMans in 2017. A beautiful green mean machine that you can now have in your showcase after enjoying the assembly of the resins and photo-etched parts you will find in box.

Although the Ford GT40 was still competitive, some teams decided to polish the body shapes, giving rise to the MK.IV variant. Renaissance brings this model to life with a resin model kit that includes everything needed to assemble two of the units of the Holman & Moody team participating in the 1967 Le Mans 24 hours, with interesting details such as the washers for the riveting of the seats or the windows with the prepainted frame.

A top-class kit for a top-class bike. We were all waiting for a kit of this gorgeous Ducati for a long time, and Tamiya has finally heard our prayers. A very interesting part listing and first-class fittings will make you enjoy this wonder that can't be out of your shelf for any longer.

The Monte-Carlo Rally has become legendary for its difficult stages and the time of year in which it is held, with difficult conditions such as snow, ice and water being easy to encounter. This means that the event gives rise to many surprises and results that depend more on the driver's hands than on the machine he is driving. In the 1978 edition, one of the snowiest in its stages, the small Renault R5 Alpine Group 2 cars shone like few others, and in the hands of Jean Ragnotti (number 19) and Guy Frequelin (number 12) they managed to finish the event in second and third place overall. This Italeri kit will allow you to build this version in detail, with its prominent wheel arches and the rally lamp pod, including the mechanical part, with its small longitudinally mounted 4-cylinder engine, and with the boot lid also operable.

Bike chain made link by link to give you that extra push that 1/6 motorcycle scale models need. Includes an ingenious tool to make the assembly really easy. The chain can be used with any model, even if it is not made by Tamiya, and it does NOT include either the sprocket or chain ring.

Years go by, and it's still spectacular. Tamiya's kit of the famous 6-wheeled Tyrrell, with its extensively detailed Cosworth engine, its removable bodywork to reveal part of the cockpit with the pedals and the steering column, and the addition of a photo-etched plate with elements such as the lower bracket of the spoiler or the filter of the intake air to the engine, which was mounted specifically for the Japanese Grand Prix, continues to be a delight for the modeler, whether he is a fan of Formula 1 or not.
