Decals for the decoration of the Porsche 934 RSR used in the last championship race of the SCCA Trans-American Championship held in 1976 at the Canadian circuit of Trois-Rivieres, where George Follmer with the number #16 not only won the race, but also was crowned the winner of the championship. We especially love the work and definition of the decoration travellers cheques. Great job! This reference can be used with Tamiya and Revell models.

Model Factory Hiro delights us with the 1/12 scale reproduction of the car with which Rosemeyer was proclaimed champion of Europe in 1936. A season of four races, where he got the victories in the grand prix of Germany, Switzerland and Italy, having to leave in Monaco. Its impressive 16-cylinder V-engine had increased its displacement to 6 liters, delivering 520 hp. A model in which various materials are used, such as white metal, resin, photo-etched parts, turned metal parts, rubber tires, decals and various cables. The rims, the dashboard clocks, the fuel cap and the end of the silencer are made of turned aluminium. The front and rear top covers can be removed, allowing a full view of the finished interior detailing. The kit is based on the version used at the 1936 German GP.

A true classic, and with off-road capabilities that are difficult to match, even for today's most modern vehicles. This is the Land Rover 109, reproduced in this case by Italieri in its long-wheelbase pick-up version with canvas cover, and with the spare wheel on the hood. Without a doubt, it will give rise to many jobs where rust, mud and rocky terrain are the protagonists.

Scale kit based on the Porsche 917K used by the Automotive Engineering team during the 1970 24 Hours of Daytona, where both team cars achieved the one-two finish. A complete and detailed model that includes white metal and resin parts, photo-etched, vacuum-formed parts, turned metal parts, rubber tires, decals, etc. Once assembled, the model allows you to remove the front and rear hoods, as well as the doors, revealing the complete interior and mechanical parts.

Model kit based on the Porsche 917K used by the Automotive Engineering team during the 1970 Le Mans 24 Hours, with a wider rear hood compared to the one used that same year at Daytona.

A complete and detailed model that includes white metal and resin parts, photo-etched, vacuum-formed parts, turned metal parts, rubber tires, decals, etc. Once assembled, the model allows you to remove the front and rear hoods, as well as the doors, revealing the complete interior and mechanical parts.

After their bigger brothers at 1/12 and 1/24 scale, finally the 1/43 Lancia Delta S4 version from MFH is available. The front and rear hoods have been designed to be removable after completion to show full view of the detailed interior and the mechanical parts, and between other details, the tires come with the pre-painted tire brand. It is not possible to have more details in so little space!

348 cc engine, 18 hp, high compression pistons, high lift cams and carburetor with accelerator pumps... the BSA Blue Star versions, although they were externally identical except for the color range, had a level of much higher performance than conventional models. A very desired motorcycle in its time, which will be equally desired in this very complete model that MFH brings us.

Second volume of the 1968 season dedicated to Sport Prototypes, the highlights being the chapters on the 1000 km of Nürburgring and the 24 hours of Le Mans. Includes images of the Ford GT40, Porsche 908, Chevron B8, Alfa Romeo T33/2, Alpine A220 and A221, Howmet TX and Ford F3L P68. It includes a total of 108 pages with color and black and white images, as well as Japanese text with partial English translation.

There are models that our parents surely wanted to mount as a kit, not only because they were one of the first cars they saw circulating on the streets, but because they were iconic models that existed years ago. After a long time, Heller brings us the reissue of one of its "greatest" models, the Traction Avant at 1/8 scale!! All in giant, a model that has nothing more and nothing less than 1054 pieces, and whose size once assembled is 595 x 220 cm. And with such dimensions and number of parts, everything can be opened, both the four doors and the front hoods, with a fantastic reproduction of the engine, such as the trunk lid on which the spare wheel is located. Enormous no matter where you look at it!

Parts to upgrade the entire front grille assembly, including the base of the headlights, for Hasegawa Lancia "Super Delta" kits, where the grille comes on the kit as a separate plastic body piece. The exploded view of the set allows, apart from a maximum detail of the grilles, to easily paint the red frame characteristic of this version, as well as the central metallic frame. For the optics of the headlights, the transparent ones of the model itself are used.

Wayne Rainey's bike had the Lucky Strike logo, right? And what's wrong with your kit of the 1989 Team Roberts Yamaha YZR500...? Do not torture yourself, here is the tobacco advertising that is missing. You and Wayne can now finally be in peace and harmony with the world.

Although the Yamaha YZF-R1M is a street bike, it is becoming more and more common for brands to incorporate some carbon parts, both to reduce weight and to resemble their competition counterparts. Studio27 has created a decal sheet with the necessary carbon patterns to decorate the fairing, fenders, rear cowl, and for other details and parts of your Yamaha YZF-R1M Tamiya kit.

The Honda CBR1000RR was born to be used in the WSBK, so weight is vital, which is why several of its parts are made of carbon... apart from the aesthetically pleasing finish. So that your Tamiya kit does not lack detail, we present you the carbon frames designed by Studio27 for use in the 1/12 scale Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP. Simply wonderful!!!

If the McLaren Senna XP is already a very special car, the Home Victory unit, which pays tribute to the first victory that Senna achieved in Brazil with McLaren, is even more so. There is only one! Better if we don't talk about its price, but what we can do is use the Studio27 decal set with the green and yellow motifs of the Brazil flag to convert our carbon fiber model of the McLaren Senna XP into this very special version.

Here is the decoration with which Joan Mir and Alex Rins are defending the colors of Suzuki this 2022 season, so you can continue completing your collection of Suzukis GSX-RR from the Moto GP World Championship. A decal sheet that complements the one that comes with the kit, and that includes the logos of the new sponsors of 2022.

Set of 17" Speedline rims with the design used by many Lancia Delta HF Integrale Gr.A, such as the official Repsol during the 1993 season. As a specific feature of its design, the outer cooling holes of the rim are rectangular, which sets it apart from the similar rim used in 1992. Two cooling vents for the front wheels are included in the set, which is ideal for combining with the KMP-TK24152 tarmac conversion kit.

Set of four mechanical figures in different positions to decorate your models and complement your 1/24 scale dioramas.

The kit that will allow us to assemble the Ferrari F2012 with which Fernando Alonso won the 2012 Malaysian GP held in changing weather conditions. A model with many parts, with good fit, and with a great detail of the mechanical and aerodynamic parts.

Universal mounting system to adapt the anchoring of the rims so that they can be mounted on Fujimi, Tamiya and Aoshima kits.

Does your re-edition of the McLaren M23 scale model come without the Marlboro logos, and do you think that without them the car does not look the same? We think the same, and that is why we have brought from Reji this decal sheet with all the Marlboro logos that the McLaren M23 Tamiya kit needs.

Decal sheet for the Audi Sport Quattro S1 to make the decoration of what was one of the last rallies of Michele Mouton within the official structure of Audi Sport in the World Rally Championship, the RAC Rally of England in 1984 in which she finished in fourth position, since in 1985 she focused on a program within the European Championship. A complete and detailed decoration where the HB tobacco logos are included.

Photo-etched plate designed to add a greater degree of realism to your Volvo 200 and 700 series models, with several of the emblems used in its different versions, including other details such as a set of door handles, lock cylinders, the Swedish nameplate, even the emblem on the front grille that referred to the addition of the Lambda sensor from 1975, something Volvo pioneered. You will not miss any detail.

Spectacular rear spoiler made in photo-etched so that you can add a very sporty touch to any of your models,

Parts to upgrade the entire front grill assembly, including the base of the headlights, for the Hasegawa Lancia Delta HF Integrale 16V kits, where the grill is integrated into the plastic bodywork itself, so it has to be cut. The exploded view of the set allows, apart from a maximum detail of the grilles, to easily paint the red frame characteristic of this version, as well as the central metallic frame. For the optics of the headlights, the transparent ones of the model itself are used.

New Hasegawa moulds, with high quality fittings and details, for one of the most powerful compact models of the 90s. The homologation regulations for Gr.A caused several brands to launch very powerful and evolved models on the market, with complex all-wheel drive systems, to make its competition variants more competitive. Nissan launched its Sunny GTI-R in the early 1990s, reaching a power of 230 hp, being recognizable by its bulging front hood with the air intake for the intercooler.

A true classic on the roads of Europe during the 90s, finally reproduced thanks to Italieri, with its characteristic quality and countless details, including multiple parts for its V8 engine, chassis and cabin.

The Shelby Cobra 427 is one of those cars that has reached the rank of myth in its own right, mainly because of its V8 engine which, combined with the lightness of the car, allowed this beast designed by Carroll Shelby to go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4 seconds. Revell has reproduced this model, including the tubular frame and engine, and given it a very special and recognizable livery, the legendary light blue and orange of sponsor Gulf Oil. What suits you?

Another option to make the model of the Porsche 917X, in this case manufactured by Revell based on the Fujimi model. The decoration chosen, that of Porsche's first overall victory in the 24 hours of Le Mans, achieved in the 1970 edition. As with the Fujimi model, this kit does not include among its parts those necessary to reproduce the complete engine.

What a beast the so-called American Muscle Cars have! All power looking for the greatest possible acceleration, although difficult to drive. Perhaps that is why they have so many followers, and for them, Revell is launching several of the most mythical models on scale. This time the turn is for the Chevrolet Camaro SS, reproduced in great detail with a great exploded view, including the engine and gearbox.

Set of 3 caps made of resin for the fuel tanks for the Tamiya models of the Ducati Desmosedici GP4, the Yamaha M1 and the Honda RCV of Moto GP.

Interesting version of the Toyota Carina E in its participation in the 24 hours of Spa in 1996, in which it achieved the eighth final position. Reji has complemented the decoration with the important aerodynamic details that began to characterize vehicles in the supertourism category from the year 1995, with substantial changes in the front skirts and rear spoiler, perfectly reproduced with resin parts, as well as the rims and exterior mirrors, along with the left-hand drive dashboard. One more for the Castrol collection!

Sheet of decals with the tobacco advertising logos used on the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI from the 1999 and 2000 seasons, in such mythical rallies as San Remo, or Montecarlo itself in the sections within the principality, such as in the podium, and that will serve to complete the decoration of your model.
