This picture, showing some of the modelers whose work has been awarded in the "Jabbeke on the road" show/contest held this past weekend at Belgium, sums up quite well what we have experienced: scale modeling, friends and fun.

There was SpotModel enjoying the event and broadcasting in almost real time everything that happened there: hundreds of scale models of cars, trucks and motorcycles; encounters between new and old friends; lots of laughs and good times around our favorite hobby.

Still enjoying the after taste left in our mouths at Belgium (literally!), we are already packing our bags again, because this weekend we will travel to the biggest spanish modeling contest, held at Leganés (Madrid). We are also looking forward to arrive! :D

SpotModel, as always enjoying scale modeling... and scale modelers!

Heller: Van scale model kit 1/24 scale - Renault Estafette - plastic parts, rubber parts, water slide decals, assembly instructions and painting instructions

Heller Reference: 80743

In the past, it was common for a vehicle to practically dominate the market, as happened with the Renault Estafette, which was widely used in many activities and by numerous companies, not only in France. The first series had an 845 cc engine derived from the one mounted in the Renault Dauphine, and that delivered 32 CV of power, which was more than enough for the needs of the time. This engine is faithfully reproduced in the model, which includes the decals to reproduce the one used in a bakery service, so it has a flat loading area free of other elements.
