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?

They are supplied with the nuts initially used to secure the rims (configuration of 5 nuts per rim), as well as with the central nut used in some tests where it was necessary to make quick wheel changes. In addition, a complete set of decals printed with digital technology is provided with the different Speedline logos used and the tire's own markings.
