Who has never dreamed of traveling back in time? And as they said in the movie, since we're going to travel, why not do it in style? Nothing less than in a DMC DeLorean. A true icon of the mid-80s, reproduced in detail by Aoshima, who apart from making us enjoy his assembly "like children", will remind us of what the flux capacitor was...

Warning for those who have not seen the movie... we are going to make a spoiler. Each DMC DeLorean from each of the films in the Back to the Future saga had its own characteristic, which in the third part is forced by its time travel to the Wild West. In addition to all the accessories and details of the car, this model includes some classic wheels, but above all the tracks and metal train wheels used so that the DeLorean can reach the necessary speed to return to the present...

A time when almost any vehicle could be raced, and where regularity, orientation ability and mechanical knowledge counted almost more than pure speed. The MG MGB achieved victory in the 1966 Route Marathon, a race held at the Nürburgring that lasted 84 hours!!, just as in 1964 it won its class at the legendary Monte Carlo Rally. Aoshima reproduces this model in great detail, even with the specific set of rims for the version we choose, and includes some great photo-etched parts for some of the metallic MG emblems that were mounted on the car.

We are used to Salvinos JR Models' fantastic scale models of mythical and classic NASCAR vehicles, but this time they have surprised us with the kit of the new generation of vehicles that will be used in NASCAR in 2022. We are looking forward to learning more about the kit, and also that the idea of making it run this year in the 24 hours of Le Mans!!! comes to fruition. Guaranteed show.
