Newsletter 478: Gaaaaaaas!!!

Gaaaaaaas!!!

Gaaaaaaas!!!
This weekend we smelled that good gasoline again, the kind used by racing cars. That poison that smells so divinely, specially when it's served together with the smell of a burned tire and a brake disc on fire. A hill climb in a nearby road in our area (no, it was not Pikes Peak) allowed us to jump with excitement when we saw the cars go by in front of us. What do you think of this gorgeous Porsche? Amazing!!! :D

After the show and with our body already filled with adrenaline, we can dedicate the rest of the week to scale model building, changing the smell of gasoline for the smell of glue and in the breaks, enjoy browsing the novelties we have at SpotModel, such as Heller's reissue of the Bentley Blower in 1/24 scale, the transkit by USCP of the beautiful Renntransporter Long, the different versions of the MP4/8 by MFH in 1/43 scale, the new StreetBlisters colors...

At SpotModel we think that it was about time that gasoline returned to our lives, right? :)

Profil24 Reference: P24122K

Aston Martin attempted its return to the top of Sport racing by taking advantage of the Gr.C regulations, developing the AMR-1 and competing in most of the 1989 Sport Prototype World Championship events. Little by little the development of the car led to more worthy results, although the economic difficulties of the brand cancelled the project at the end of the year with the new model, the AMR-2, practically already built. Profil has brought this model to life with a very complete and detailed model, especially in the external aspect, perfectly recreating the curious shapes of this prototype.
