The Tamiya kit faithfully recreates each and every one of the details of the real model, including a complete exploded view of the engine and exhaust system, which you can choose to leave "almost" in sight thanks to the "semi-transparent" plastic-injected fairing.

The decals include the silver stripes and lines, to be applied on the bodywork painted in red and black. The silver decals come with spare stripes in case something goes wrong.

Interesting kit of the BMW M3 E30 to make the street version of the model.

Pagani is one of the most exclusive brands, but sometimes it goes a little further with some limited editions, such as the Zonda "F" model, of which only 25 units were manufactured. Inaccessible to virtually everyone, you can now take advantage of Aoshima adding it to its Supercar series. The kit is a delight, with a fully detailed engine that is visible after assembly as the rear bonnet can be removed, as is the front bonnet, where the suspension and chassis are also hyper-detailed. And to paint the different windows, a set of masks have been included. There is no longer an excuse not to have a Zonda at home!

Just as Pagani offers its customers special finishes, you can do the same with your Pagani Zonda F model thanks to the photo-etched set offered by Aoshima itself, where you will find the grilles for the air intakes, the brake discs or the different Pagani emblems with even better definition. The set is complemented by the turned metal exhaust pipe outlets, and with transferable metal ones with different emblems or the mirror glass. A more than interesting option!

Lovers of LB-Works jobs are in luck. Aoshima brings us the first of the versions they made for those who want a somewhat different Huracan. A kit where the oversized front bumper is integrated into the bodywork itself, while the rest of the bodywork parts have been made in the same plastic color so the model looks great even unpainted. Another very interesting detail of the model is that the height of the vehicle and the camber angle of the wheels can be adjusted even after assembly. How in the real car!
