Complete your Fujimi model of the Ferrari 248F1 with this set of decals with all the Marlboro logos, and thus be able to make any of the decorations used in the Grand Prix of the season where the limitations on tobacco advertising were not in force, as well as that in many of the test days,

What's the problem with your FW16 decals? Are they incomplete? Is the Rothmans logo missing? Are they just wrong?

Malboro sponsor logos to be used with the 1988 Yamaha YZR500.

Why don't Rothmans decals come with today's models? It is not entirely clear, but Tabu brings us the solution with this complete set of decals that includes, in addition to the tobacco logos, other logos that may be necessary to recreate the NSR500 from season 89.

Decals with all the logos and badges missing in the Ferrari 312T4 scale model kit by Tamiya. It works for the original kit as well as for the re-edition.

Here are the logos not included in the original Tamiya kit. Are you going to leave your model without them?

Limited time re-edition of this transkit to build an authentic Porsche 962C from Tamiya's Porsche 956C model, which has the advantage of having a much more detailed engine and suspension set. The most obvious changes between the 962 and 956, such as the front and rear bonnets, are made of high-quality resin, and the photo-etched plate provides that final touch of detail for this asphalt beast.

A really interesting and very useful set of hinges that you can use to add functionality to the doors and bonnets of your models in all scales. The independent axis allows to use each hinge body at top, bottom, left or right, or even use only one of the hinge bodies on which to directly couple the rotating part. Rivets are included to provide added support if required. Each hinge body has two guide points for drilling the holes once fixed in position, so you can insert the rivets and make a robust connection without much effort.

Car equipped with a 935 front hood used by the Jagermeister team in the second half of the 1970s. Among the various possible versions:

Car extensively modified according to SCCA regulations, and entered in the events held in 1978 and 1979 at the Road Atlanta circuit, corresponding to the Spark Plug Road Racing Classic Championship. Its driver, Stefan Edlis, got the second position in 1978, while in 1979 he failed to complete the race.

The cars built by Alex Job's team were characterized by the location of the engine in a different position with respect to the rear axle, ceasing to be cantilevered and becoming in front, almost in a central position. This theoretically should have improved their behavior, but the reality is that they never got any significant results. In his participation in the 1992 24 Hours of Daytona with the drivers Pezza, Padilla and Sheldon, he finished in eighteenth place.

At Sebring in 1992, during the classic 12 hours, the Alex Job Racing Team's Porsche was fitted with a new high rear wing. Raced by the drivers Pezza, Refenning and Hamlet, they took twenty-first place in the final standings.

Car participating in the Daytona Finale 250 Miles in 1973, with the drivers Wilbur Pickett and Bill Bean, finished fifteenth overall.

The famous American driver Tony de Lorenzo, ran the Final 250 Miles of Daytona in 1972 aboard this Corvette, finishing in second place.

Still Wilbur Pickett and Bill Bean, competing in the 1973 12 Hours of Sebring, brought the Corvette to sixteenth place overall.

An unusual orange color for the Leoni and Marcomini Stratos with which they competed, and won, the Rally delle Valli Piacentine in 1980. 1/42 scale resin model kit with a complete set of photo-etched parts to reproduce even the smallest detail.

Bernard Darniche, co-drived by Bernard Spindler instead of his usual navigator Alain Mahé, won the 1975 Var Rally aboard Chardonnet's red Stratos. The Arena Modelli kit allows you to recreate this version with its characteristic Campagnolo rims in gold.

The Lancia Stratos owned by the Swiss Fatio and Hofmann, which, supported by the Jolly Club, competed in the 1975 Rally du Var, was fitted with unusual BBS wheels and a battery of rectangular auxiliary lamp pod instead of the classic round lamp pod.

The "racetrack" version of the Chardonnet team Stratos used in 1977 at the Jeanne d’Arc Rally, that also won on that occasion.

In 1980 the Stratos Chardonnet lost its classic blue color to switch to the black of the new sponsor Le Point, with which it participated in the Tour de France Automobile Rally of the European Championship where, masterfully driven by the usual Darniche-Mahé couple, it reached the finish line in first position.

In 1981 the Chardonnet team's Stratos continued to use the black livery of sponsor Le Point. With this decoration the Darniche-Mahé couple achieved victory in the Touraine Criterium Rally in 1981.

Rare appearance of driver Fulvio Bacchelli, along with Scabini, at the wheel of the Lancia Stratos in the 1979 Monte Carlo rally, finishing in 5^th position.

Change the regulations between the GT's, but for Toyota the new rules of the Hypercar did not mean any change in the result obtained in the 24 hours of Le Mans, getting the victory again with the car number 7, which was then the fourth consecutive for Toyota. Profil24 has reproduced this spectacular model in resin, which includes a pair of cockpit doors for those who want to expose the interior. Nothing like seeing its details to discover the complexity of the asymmetric decoration of the bodywork, with a different distribution of red and black colors on the left and right. Spectacular no matter where you look at it!

A model perhaps not well known, but in 1975, after changing the Maserati engine for the well-known 3-liter Ford Cosworth DFV, it was about to win the 1975 24 Hours of Le Mans, finishing second, only 1 lap from the winning Mirage GR8. Profil has been able to reproduce the shapes and essence of the car, with its large rear spoiler and its transparent plastic rear cover that partially reveals the engine and gearbox. A little piece of French history!

At the beginning of the 50s it was easy to find several Cunningham models participating in sporting events, even in the 24 hours of Le Mans, although the most common was that they were "spyder" versions. The curious thing about the C-4RK model is that it was a closed version ... and a very competitive one. Not surprisingly, in the 1952 edition number #2 achieved third position on the grid, although later in the race he had to quit. This resin kit allows us to choose in its assembly between the 1952 or 1953 versions (number #3), when it finished in tenth position.

Resin kit to make the beautiful version of the Porsche 911 used by Ballet and Roussel during the Monte Carlo rally in 1983. A pity that they could not reach the finish line due to a problem in the engine lubrication system, but that is not an impediment to that looks like no other in your showcase.
