Newsletter 475: Superturrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbo

Besides the 6.5 liter Bentley Speed Six that achieved victory and second place in the 24 Hours of 1930, other models of the brand were also on the starting line, such as the 4.5 liter Blower Supercharged developed in 1927, which achieved victory in the 1928 edition. Airfix reissues this kit that was originally released in 1971 and that has already been reissued on several occasions by Airfix, and even by other manufacturers such as MPC. The kit includes exactly the same parts as the original edition, only with new decals.

Since its appearance, the Nissan Skyline has never stopped evolving, including its competition versions. In 1999 it was the turn of the new R34 version, which had become a real beast. The Tamiya kit recreates this model with perhaps its most famous version, the blue Calsonic. The model comes with two different sets of rims, as well as some useful masks to paint the glass frames. And a small detail of those that we like, a pre-cut metal transfer for the exhaust side outlet protector. And all in the usual Tamiya quality!

Perhaps the Portugal rally was one of the best for the Audi Quattro S1 in terms of performance in the 1985 season, with Röhrl and Blomqvist winning 28 of the rally's 47 stages, but bad luck with punctures on the last stage prevented Röhrl go beyond third place, after finishing the second stage leading comfortably.

Quite a show!
