Newsletter 585: Marsh Models

Perhaps the Chaparral competition cars are always associated with fast vehicles with "peculiar" and avant-garde solutions, often bordering on legality, such as the ground effect fans, the first spoilers mounted on long rods, the faired wheels... but there are also more "conventional" versions, such as the 2D model used in the 1966 12 Hours of Sebring. High quality resin, white metal parts, a photo-etched plate and a decal sheet make up this 1/43 scale kit that will make you enjoy all its details.

No less than up to 8 versions available to choose from are those that allow you to create this kit of the legendary Ford GT40 MK.II, among which of course are the 3 that completely occupied the podium at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1996..

We love Tamiya's reissues of their "classic" kits, but as has been the case with other reissue kits of late, the new decal sheets are not complete, missing some of the logos the car originally featured. But don't worry, brands like Tabu Design have noticed this detail, and have prepared a decal sheet with all those missing logos for Alitalia's Lancia Stratos Turbo... and even the license plate.

Like a glove! That's the first thing that came to mind when we saw the set of photo-etched parts by Studio27 for the Lancia 037 Rally, The grilles on the front and rear hoods, the huge rear mud flaps, the brake discs, the front radiators, and some very useful templates to paint the Pirelli logos on the tires and on the rear grille, are just some of the parts that we can improve. The Lancia 037 will undoubtedly always be one of our favourites!

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!
