Now that almost all of us fans know that Carroll Shelby won the 24 Hours of Le Mans before having to put aside his racing career and go on to manage teams full time, what better than being able to build the car at 1/12 scale with which he achieved such a feat, and with all the details and quality that MFH is capable of printing on its models? A marvelous model, made up of white metal parts, resin, photo-etched parts, turned metal, rubber tires, decals, and of course a wide variety of cables that allow the maximum representation of the original vehicle. Spectacular!

Set of parts for updating the brakes of the Williams Renault FW14B 1/12 scale model kit by Tamiya, manufactured with the absolute precision of Top Studio. In the product box you will find turned metal parts, photo-etched parts, a small decal sheet with the thermal stickers, machined metal parts, etc. Without a doubt it is an essential upgrade for your model.

Detailed set for the Tamiya 1/12 scale model kit of the Williams Renault FW14B. Includes metal and resin parts, photo-etched parts, decals, ... so you can update and detail the radiators and the ECUs.

This model is NOT a re-edition of the Trumpeter product, it is a completely new product!! Pre-painted version of the model.

Modern central nut in black.

If the McLaren Senna XP is already a very special car, the Lap of Gods unit, which pays homage to Senna's victory at Donington Park with McLaren in extreme wet conditions, is even more so. There is only one! We don't talk about its best price, but what we can do is use the Studio27 set of decals with the blue, red and white motifs of the British flag to turn our carbon fiber model of the McLaren Senna XP into this version so special.

Undoubtedly, the reissue of the Tamiya 1/20 scale model of the Fiat 131 Abarth has been great news, although we missed the mythical decorations sponsored by Alitalia, especially because of the many victories that the Fiat 131 Abarth achieved with those colors. For this reason, Studio27 has launched a decal sheet that allows you to choose between 4 of the most important rallies of the 1978 season where the 131 Abarth won: the Acropolis rally and the Quebec rally with Walter Rohrl at the wheel, with Alen in the Portugal rally and the Darniche rally in the Tour de Corse. Which one do you prefer?

Perfect decoration for the reissue of the Tamiya kit, or for the first editions of the kit, since it not only allows you to complete the version that won the TDC in the hands of Darniche, but also includes all the logos, even those that the reissue of Tamiya does not bring, like those of Cinzano or Pirelli. Now you can say that your model of the 131 Abarth by Olio Fiat is complete!

What a joy now that Tabu has decals with eeevery sponsor of the FW14B. And when we say eeevery, we mean exactly that: eeevery ONE of them (including the camels of Camel)

Complete decal sheet for the version of the Mercedes AMG GT3 that got the second position in the 2016 Spa 24 hours finishing on the same lap as the leader. In addition to the necessary decals for the bodywork, it also includes the necessary decals to detail the wheel set, with logos for rims and tires.

During the tests prior to the race, Bobby Rahal's RLL team drove their two units of the BMW M8 GTE practically without sponsors, with a black bodywork, which revealed the carbon patterns of its different panels. S.K. Decals has prepared a set with two sheets of decals to fully reproduce this decoration that seems simple, but that is presented as quite a challenge. Do you dare to cover with fiber the huge BMW M8?

A unique decoration that of this Mclaren Senna, and which is inspired by the colors used in the McLaren MP4/4 with which Ayrton Senna was proclaimed Formula 1 World Champion in 1988. And the most striking thing is that the red bands are listed all the races won by Ayrton Senna in Formula 1. Without a doubt, a tribute to the figure of Ayrton Senna.

What a season it was in 1993. Nicola Larini won no less than 10 races on his way to the DTM title in Alfa Romeo's dream debut in the championship, to which was added the two races won by Nannini. Tamiya delighted us with a spectacular model of this model, but if your decals are damaged, deteriorated, or have been disposed of by putting them in water, this set of fresh decals from SK Decals is the solution you need.

This photoetched parts set also includes decals and fabrics for simulating harnesses.

Complete your model with this set of photoetched parts. Gain realism with its front wing side panels, car bottom leading edges, wing mount, engine cover latches, and much more. And since the Goodyear logos are actually painted onto the rubber, why not do the same to scale with the stencil? Another touch of realism!

During the 1996 season, Mitsubishi used in some European rallies, such as Catalunya and San Remo, a specific decoration for the incorporation of sponsorship from the Windfield tobacco company. Hasegawa launches a new version of his kit of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo III with the decoration used precisely in the Catalunya rally that year, although be careful, the tobacco decals are not included.

Re-edition of the Tamiya kit of the Suzuki RG250 Gamma as released in 1984.

As has been customary for a few years, many of our models do not include those corresponding to tobacco advertising on their decal sheets. as it happens with the Tamiya Williams FW14B at 1/12 scale. If you want to include Camel advertising in your model, this decal sheet will be more than useful. And so that nothing is missing, the logos of Courses Inc. and Racing Service are also included, messages that replace Camel's camel in some races, such as the 1992 Magny Cours,

Supplementary decals with the logos not included in the original scale model by Tamiya.

Knowing that Tabu has decals with aaaaall the FW14B sponsors really gives you peace of mind. And by "aaaaall" we mean exactly that: aaaaall of them, animals included.

In modern cars there are most parts in which different types of fibers and patterns are used for their manufacture.
