Newsletter 502: Deliciously excitingDecember 16^th, 2021

One of the classic Hasegawa kits, with a more than interesting and complete exploded view, with the engine totally detailed, and the decals to recreate the car that won the Tour de Corse in 1984 with Markku Alén at the wheel, the last victory of the Lancia 037 in the World Rally Championship.

A BMW classic, the 2002 tii, born back in 1969. The model has a very good parts break-up, it's really easy to build, and the detailing on every part is magnificent. Highly recommended!!

Second round of the interesting BMW 2002 kit from Hasegawa, now in its turbo version. Includes the wheel arcs, rims and decals necessary for you to assemble this interesting variant.

Limited series of the Hasegawa Porsche 962C scale kit, this time with the incredible Fat International decoration used by the Brun team in the 1000 Kms of Spa Francorchamps, ninth round of the 1987 World Sport Prototype Championship, achieving third position final. The kit does not have any new parts compared to other versions of the Hasegawa 962C, except for the aforementioned decals.

Limited edition of the kit of the Lancia Delta HF Integrale 16V Evo, this time with the livery used by Tommi Mäkinen during his participation in the 1993 1000 Lakes Rally, in which he demonstrated his class with a car that was already out of date with respect to the competition finishing a fantastic fourth position. Regarding other references of the same Hasegawa model, the only change is the new decal sheet and the incorporation of 8-arm dirt wheels already seen in other models of the same manufacturer.

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.

New version of the Lancia Delta HF Integrale 16V that, sponsored by Martini, raced in the 1989 San Remo rally, in what was its only appearance in the World Rally Championship with the body painted in red. The model version corresponds to the 1989 Lancia Delta Gr.A, which did not yet have the rear spoiler, and with the dirt configuration of the second and third stages of the rally, so it includes the "high" suspensions and the dirt wheels and tires. The model includes photo-etched parts and material to make the belts and the front and rear skirts.

Livery used by Valentino Rossi in his Ford Fiesta WRC during the Rally Show held at Monza in 2011.

True fans are capable of anything to imitate their idols, and in the era of dominance of the Yamaha Marlboro in the 500cc world championship, Yamaha was encouraged to launch a special version of the Yamaha TZR250 with the same colors as the works bike. .. that could even be accompanied by a clothing line! Patterns are included to make the necessary masks to paint the different parts of the fairing red, and a color reference guide to match the decals.

Complete decal sheet to renew those of the Tamiya kit corresponding to the Ducati 900 Mike Hailwood Replica , with its characteristic green stripes on the tank and the references to the rider on the fairing and on the side covers under the seat.

Pleasantly surprised. This is how we have been when we saw the exploded view of Hasegawa's model of the Nissan R32 GT-R. What a number of pieces, and what a definition! The detailing on the interior and underside of the car is incredible, and the settings are simply fantastic. We have fun for a while!

Hasegawa continues to surprise us with his new molds. The Toyota Supra Turbo A70 model kit has a large number of parts to assemble the shock absorbers, the roll cage, the exhaust line, the perforated brake discs, rims, tires, etc., and all with a high quality of detail. . For us, it becomes the benchmark when compared to Fujimi and Tamiya models.

Scale kit belonging to the " Scale Plastic Model Kit Historic Car Series " corresponding to the Volkswagen Type 2 van in the full sheet metal body version without windows, which is why it was commercially called "Delivery Van". A kit with many possibilities, which has an extensive parts list (around 70 pieces), and with a thousand formulas to create a great piece for your shelf. Irresistible!!

In the mood for a true full detail kit? Do you want to assembly an incredible model? If the answer is yes, then this kit is for you. Parts break up is awesome, detailing is microscopic, part number is overwhelming. And if we have a look at the humongous decals sheet, including even the golden lining on the censored tobacco logos, everything we say does no justice to this kit. Just remember that the actual Rothmans logos are NOT in the box.

One of those motorcycles that marked an era, due to its sporty appearance and its link to racing. Decorated with the "war" colors of the World Championship, it did not leave anyone indifferent, and neither did the Hasegawa model, with its perfect fits and great detail.

Virtual competitions in the motor world are becoming more and more relevant, with events that include all kinds of models spread all over the world. As an example, the livery recreated by LB Production of this BMW M8 GTE, which was used in the VCO (Virtual Competition Organisation) Nations Cup qualifiers, with the 24 participating teams having to lap the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, This means that this nice M8 GTE only raced virtually!!, but that is not an impediment for us to love it.

Another new and very colorful example of how far virtual competitions can go, where the vehicles are increasingly real, and the competitions more professional. BMW wanted to pay tribute to the heroes of the Red Cross with a free design called #RaceLikeAHero in the BMW M8 GTE, and to be able to participate with it in the different virtual competitions. As it says on the sides, thank you!

Vrooaaw, vrooaaw!! Who has not made that sound imitating the sound of a car? For this reason it has also served as an onomatopoeia for comics, such as those of Michael Vaillant, which is precisely the reason for the decoration of this BMW Z4 GT3. It looks simply spectacular to us!

Decoration of the Nissan Skyline used by Luis Pérez Sala, former Formula 1 driver, in the 1993 Spanish Touring Car Championship (CET), which meant his second championship title. A nice decoration with the classic Repsol colors, where the blue stripe runs all over the car, and where the Skyline wore the classic 23 of the Nissan vehicles that compete outside of Japan.

Fantastic reproduction of the Ferrari 512M that raced in 1971 in the 24 Hours of Le Mans obtaining the fourth final position, finally in 1/43 scale. As usual in Tameo Kits, the kit includes an extensive metal parts listing ans a really complete photo-etched sheet. Full color instructions will guide you with precision through the assembly of this beauty.
