TS050

TS050
Pop quiz: which Japanese car, winner of the world's biggest GT race driven by a Spaniard, is going to see the light soon in 1/24 scale by the hands of Tamiya?

Thank you!!! Thank you for listening to our prayers. The TS050 is the model we have all been dreaming about since last June 2018, when Fernando Alonso won the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It will be presented next week at the Nüremberg Toy Fair, and of course we will be there to see the kit in first person. What a thrill! :)

Also, we can already hear some whisperings about a new Komakai release, a detail-up set by Decalcas, about photo-etched parts by Studio27... Even more excitement!!! :D

The best from the best at SpotModel!!!
